Have a few forum members who swear by the old 629 (not performance center one) in the .44 magnum. Few threads about it if you can dig around. I carry an L frame IWB, it sits fine and carries well! I like the added weight for when I shoot, and I don't feel it pulling my pants down vs. a j frame or anything. L and N are pretty close, so I'd say you're off to a good start and good luck!
