Not to disrespect Jeff's memory but why couldn't Ruger have made a half lug, round barrel, 4.2" version like this in SS and blued, in all of their various calibers, starting in 1986? Link to website Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

They were going after the big seller at the time, the 586/686. You have to look like the competition.

I have the Lipseys 5” half lug in 10mm and it’s awesome, love it. Loading Rimrock 220gr hard cast to 1200 fps, good stuff I wish I’d bought the 44 special version too. Now they are scarce and around $1200+
