Currently my only 44 Special is a Uberti copy of a 73 Winchester, Tuned action, and semi short stroked. Fast, smooth, accurate, and elegant!

My first was a 4 3/4" 3rd Generation Colt SAA made in 1982 when Colt's started chambering that model in that caliber shortly before discontinuing the gun from regular production.
After that was a 4" Model 24-3 although it took more almost 30 years after they were reintroduced at Skeeter Skelton's urging.
Lastly was one of the Lipsey's Special Ruger Blackhawk Flattop Bisleys with a 5 1/2" barrel made in 2008. I'm sure Skeeter would have had good things to say about that one too.
A can of Unique, some brass, large pistol primers and some 250 grain cast Keith Style bullets and I'm ready for anything. Although I don't generally shoot the more stout "Skeeter Load" in the Colt or S&W. The Ruger Bisley handles it with aplomb.

Certainly can't argue with your liking the 44s. I'll post my oldest, my newest, and one in between.

696 here but I would like a 3” N frame special
Have owned several N frames over the years, but others wanted them worse than I did and I let them get away. Now only have a 696-1 and an original Charter bulldog. But have a Winchester and a Rossi lever guns that that love to shoot 44 specials.
