Don't feel bad as I bought A Taurus snubby in .41 when I could find no three inch 57s and 657s. Not quite the same gun but what I could afford and find.
I still have my longer 57s and 657 so am not a complete traitor to the board either.
I did trade here for a Lew Horton 24 in three inch and am happy with it too. I couldn't afford his price but had something he wanted. Glad too I bought a supply of 44 special some time ago. Now I have some brass and need to get dies for them.
