I would amend that to include .41 and .45 caliber along with the .44's. A 4" M57 or Mountain Gun in .41 Magnum is pretty danged nice. Icky. How about a M58?

This post needs a Like Button. Those grips look really good with the deep blue on those fine examples. They're made with real panther parts so you know they're good. 60% of the time, it works every time! 4" is good. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/oolp87A.jpg) 5" is gooder! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/WHfdqzw.jpg)

I guess I too am a fan of 4" N-Frames, and here are a couple of examples: ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51029840306_d08e47dc65_b.jpg) I also like them with 5", 5.5", 6", and 6.5" barrels, though none of my 6" are shown here: ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51030211291_1b1be60047_b.jpg)

I regret selling my 5” 629 but this Mountain Gun lessens the loss. Tell me about those stocks. Thanks, RS VZ grips, operator 2 I think. I shot an ICORE match with the factory Hogue rubber grips and the S&W medallion cut into my thumb. I found these and did sand the edges a bit but they fit much better.

It doesn’t get better than a 4” N frame Well, they do look nice, but shooting them much is not so great...............easily superseded by a 5" or 6" version. And if you just have to have a 4", an L fame balances & shoots far better. YMMV MM

I'd rather jump to the K frame but I tolerate this L frame. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/tT3YgSjH/2-E3928-AC-EEAF-4-E25-AAB5-A6-BA0-FA73-F61.jpg)

I've had a few 5" N-frames, Skeeter Skelton was a big proponent of 5" barrels. Someone say 5" N Frames?  I'm a sucker for unfluted cylinders. I stole this pic off the S&W forum, but I do have a Model 25-7 on the way from Howell, Mi which will be here this week. It's NIB, old stock, with the factory black rubber Hogue stocks. I've got some Eagle Grips Kirinite® Ivory on the way.  ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/H9SBLL5l.jpg)
