While it may be uncommon, being that it is a stainless gun with a model number reserved for blued versions, I personally would not get overly excited about it like some of the collectors do. I would rather have a 5" 1950 Target Model in .44 Special, which there were very few in the length were produced. Or a 5" .45 Colt skinny barrel Model 26. A 5" Model 26 would really be something I would put to use in the field!
