I don't like it.
Every time I shoot one I wish it was a .41 magnum.
If you handload, which I don't, you might as well have a .44 special instead of a .44 magnum.

Remington screwed it up. Instead of making it 1200 fps as Elmer Keith suggested they made it do 1500 which takes all the fun out of it.

Having said that I have 2 and one on the way. Why? Because I like the guns: a Colt Anaconda 4", a Ruger old model Super Blackhawk, and a Virginian Dragoon on the way with a 10.5" barrel that will hopefully tame the recoil down to a fun level.
