I've had several, including three Premier 454's, a Premier 475 5-1/2" (special order), and a 4" Model 97 44 Spl that had every option (octagon, fluting, trigger, rounded butt, ivory micarta).

Ended up selling them all.

When Ruger came out with the 5-shot 454, I sold my last FA 454 to buy one.

When I had a chance at a Linebaugh made 475, I sold my FA to buy it.

And when Ruger came out with the flat-top Bisley 44 spl, I sold my Model 97 to buy a stainless Ruger with a 4-3/4" barrel.

I really don't miss the FA's. The Rugers shoot just as good for me. And the Linebaugh gun is just amazing.
