44 Special Revolver

Any comments on the Taurus Model 445, snubnosed, titanium, ported, 44 special, 5 shot revolver? Good or bad?
Mine is light and very accurate at 25 yards....has a surprisingly low recoil for a large caliber.
I like it. What do you think of yours?
Seems to me that Taurus has greatly improved in quality. Well...at least in this model anyway.

Hi Joe
I have a 445 stainless and love it. A gun shop in KY was selling them out and I couldn't believe the price. A friend bought one a week later and he bought the ported blue titanium. His revolver is a handfull when fired. I keep saying the Taurus guarantee is awfully impressive, and the pistols are underrated.
The 44 Spl is an amazingly accurate cartridge. I can't wait to try handloads. I like to shoot the specials in my 44 mag.
I call the 445 my fishing gun. I have a padded spot in my tackle box.

You need to have something to do when the fish aren't biting.
