I often carry a short barreled Smith Model 29.
Loaded with medium (defensive) .44special loads the recoil is mild and easy to keep all six in a playin card rapid fire at ten yards.
With stout loads; ie large frame only; .44 special gets a lot more whap to the receiver than the .45 ACP.
Granted, not everybody likes to carry a large frame gun all day.
I wouldn't go beyond mild loads in a 696.
