Nice gun! 4" 44's are my favorite, heck all 4" N frames are my favorites! Nice grips also, they are a blast to shoot so enjoy it.

Thanks for the compliments. Back about 20 years ago when I first started down this road, all I wanted was stainless steel models. I can't help but think about all the blued revolvers I could have bought but didn't back then. I was concerned about finish durability. I passed on a 6.5" 29 Classic that was absolutely beautiful. I got my 6.5" 629 Classic instead; at least I still have it. I held in my hands a new 4" blued Python, comparing it to a similarly priced 6" 686 and went with the 686. One of my friends offered me a LNIB Model 19 4" for $250 and I said no. I'm paying for it now. I did recently pick up a nice 4" 586 for a pretty decent price. I guess hindsight really is 20/20.

It doesn't appear that anyone else shot it much either! Very nice.

Congratulations! That's one of my real wants, a beautiful blued 44.
