I thought that the whole point of the v-comp port was to allow a 4" barrel to be as "shootable" as the 5", since you are reducing some of the muzzle flip. I was also hoping that the Performance Center gun's trigger and other parts/fitting would be improved compared to stock. I also have other standard revolvers, so I was actually thinking that something different looking (unfluted cylinder, funny comp) would be sort of cool. I'm not sure I need a louder magnum!

Then again, I was looking at that ghastly two tone 627PC, and starting to think that might be interesting as well. I read someone else's review saying that unless you are shooting hot 357 you don't really get much assistance from the comp on that gun, but I wonder if it makes more of a difference in 44 mag?
