SPECIFICATIONS:
Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson
Model: 669
Serial: TBY5650
Caliber: 9mm
Finish: Stainless Slide and Barrel with Aluminum Alloy Frame

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
This is a shorter version of Smith and Wesson's popular x9 series of high-capacity, "wonder 9" automatics. The model was designed for concealed carry or backup use, so it was shortened in both directions. The shortened butt of the gun has a designed magazine capacity of 12 rounds, although it can take any of the 59 series of magazines, including the standard 15-round magazines designed for full-sized versions, and extended magazines holding up to 30 rounds.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
This is a shorter version of Smith and Wesson's popular x9 series of high-capacity, "wonder 9" automatics. The model was designed for concealed carry or backup use, so it was shortened in both directions. The shortened butt of the gun has a designed magazine capacity of 12 rounds, although it can take any of the 59 series of magazines, including the standard 15-round magazines designed for full-sized versions, and extended magazines holding up to 30 rounds.
Newer versions of the series, produced during the Clinton ban, came equipped with a government-mandated 10-round magazine, which was considered safe for civilians. Fortunately, the ban is over, although some states still have their own versions in place. The shorter magazines have a finger extension, and the gun is equipped with a magazine safety, making it impossible to fire with the magazine removed.
In addition to the shortened butt, the slide and barrel are cut down, and the hammer is bobbed to prevent it from snagging on clothing during a concealed carry draw. Unlike many bobbed hammer guns, the 669 is capable of single-action firing, as well as having a double-action trigger system. The bobbed hammer is serrated and can be manually cocked by first pulling the trigger until the hammer has reached the half-cock notch of the sear.
This gun is the same as the model 469, except for the stainless slide. The stainless steel construction enhances its deep-cover role and greatly adds to its durability. The size, caliber, capacity, and stainless steel slide would seem to make this an ideal kit gun or knock-around utility pistol. The frame is made of silver anodized alloy and finished in a way similar to that of the stainless slide.
This gun was made in 1988 when it was replaced by the model 6906, which is essentially the same gun, with a single-piece grip, a cosmetic change in the safety, and three-dot sights.
