I totally agree! I love Ruger I think it's the best revolver made today, and I am dying for them to make a .44 special in 3-4"! I considered trying a Charter Arms bulldog for a but, but didn't do it because I just don't trust Charter's products compared to Ruger's proven durability. I like Ruger's .45 acp Redhawk but I don't 1,000 bucks like it! That's crazy expensive. I absolutely love .357 magnum it's my favorite round but the .44 magnum is too much for me, way too much. I'd love to see a sleek, Ruger version of .44 spl. I'd get one of those in a heart beat. I now have two .357 magnum revolvers and adore both, but I'm one of those that thinks I need an even bigger bore caliber too. If given a choice, I'd still take a .357 over a .44 spl any day, but the .44 spl is just a cool round to me because it's bigger bore but slower and easier. Curious to see if Ruger comes out with one sometime. I'd say it's not too likely given that the round is fairly unknown or just not that in demand now from what I've seen.
