I've often wished this 5-shot, 10 inch Freedom Arms 44 Magnum was a 6 or 7.5 inch but I ran across it used and it was a heckuva deal so I have learned not to complain. And every time I get to thinking I want to send it in for a shorter barrel I get to thinking of how it groups at 100yds and I smile to myself and the urge passes.
