New S&W M69 2.75" L Frame .44 Mag

Is there any recoil difference between the 4” and 2.75”?

I have shot them side by side with the same ammo and my perception is that the 4.25" recoils slightly more than the 2.75". I attribute this to 100 fps +- more velocity of the longer bbl offsetting the 2 oz lighter weight of the shortie.

FWIW,

Huh, interesting

The short barrel 69 looks like it would make a great fanny pack revolver. Here is mine -- I managed to fit L frame grips on it.
