Seeing that you have a 44spl L frame coming and plan on reloading for it, I would go with the N frame 44spl as well. It is more economical to reload in one caliber. You will have fewer components to purchase and store, and less chance for any sort of a mix-up. Not that it would be all that complicated to reload both calibers. How ever you can never discount the advantage of simplification. Either way be safe and good luck. -- Shamrock--
