Just thought I would see what others thought. I will admit, I am a pretty recent convert to the 44 special. It honestly took longer than it should have. I have certainly grown fond of it. Currently, I only have one revolver in this caliber, and it is a single action, albeit a fine one. I would really like to add a decent double action to the mix. I doubt ruger will ever produce a Special only double action. After a lot of looking and reading, the Model 21 Smith and Wesson is really looking good. yes, it is slightly larger than need be for the Special. But the lines are so nostalgic! It just looks like a great revolver. I've done some looking on the auction sites, and there are a few of the "Thunder Ranch" version available. Only thing I don't care for is that gold emblem on the right side of the frame. Anybody else out there that would like to see this model offered again?
