Thanks to a very nice forum member I will soon be the owner of this 544. I know some don't like commeratives but hey a 5" N-frame in .44-40. What's not to like. I have some Fiocci ammo on the way, can't wait to mix the two.
Oh man this gun shot better than I hoped. Just took it out for quick shakedown cruise. Accurate, handled great and the trigger (especially SA) was exceptional. People may not care for the commemoratives but S&W sure did both in the finish and the mechanics.
