I’ll run one of my 4” .44 Mags in Special.
Of my Ruger Kodiak.
It's not as ubiquitous or easily accessible as Glock's Blue Label program, but S&W has a MIL/LE program with a pretty significant discount. It would be worth the time to track down a distributor.

What’s the difference between the 69 and 629?

The 69 is an L frame and uses the 2 piece barrel configuration. Might be a bit lighter compared to the N frame 629. Both chamber and fire 44 SPL/Mag.

69 is a 5 shot (same as the 396 Night Guard.). 629 holds 6.
9mm kills the body, but .45 ACP destroys the soul!

Weight wise, the difference between the Model 69 and the 396 is 12oz. Just food for my brain. In case I get desperate.

I need to go weigh my 629... Then again, I might not like the answer since it might kill my reasons for being interested in the 396...

Well, Bud’s has one now. And with tax, would be $1,400ish. Nope, I’m out. Oh well, it was a thought.

Guess I’ll start looking for a 3” Ruger GP-100 in .44 Spl.

Saw a used model 69 last week tagged at $749 if that’s of any interest.

I might hit you up. I’m away from home for a while. But, when I get back.
Originally, I wasn’t wanting another Mag as I have several. Wanted a dedicated Special. But, doing the math, I have comparable mags that could shoot specials. So, I need to do the logistics in my head.
Looking at gun weights and seeing if I’m actually gaining a lighter gun or just spending money for something I already have.
