One might wonder where are the other three 44s with 3.5" barrels? Three of the six total examples are included in this thread, leaving three more to be found by an astute collector sometime in future (we hope).

As I said above ,a very neat thread. Don't we all wish we could go back to a time that we could contact the factory and order what we wanted? I was able to enjoy that for a short while with the single actions from US Firearms before they closed but that also is now a thing of the past. All my best, Joe.

I also special ordered from U.S Firearms, a consecutive numbered pair of Nettleton SA.s. One a 7 1/2" the other 5 1/2". I wanted to order more SA's but before I knew it they were gone. Sad.

I was only able to obtain one USFA single action. Mine is a 4 3/4" blue/case hardened .44 Special. The action as good as or better than a friend's 2nd Generation Colt SAA.

I got four in 44 online new unfired w/boxes and docs:
a pair of consecutively #d 44 Spl/Russian dual cartridge marking on barrel, CCH hammers with bordered checkering, 4 3/4", Blue/CCH, checkered walnut grips.
another pair of consecutively #d 44 Spl/44-40 convertibles, CCH hammers, 4 3/4", Blue/CCH.
And one used/like new in box 45 BP, CCH hammers with bordered checkering, 4 3/4", Blue/CCH, 1 pc walnut grips.
They're actions are all so much the same as well as the accuracy, fit, and finish.
