A friend bought a Model 629 in a 4" at the same time I got my GP100 in a 6 inch.
My GP100 was easy to shoot with full house loads but when I tried his .44 Mag did it ever wake me up. It stung my hand pretty good and wasn't comfortable shooting at all. Maybe better shooting grips would make a difference but so far I have not been able to overcome that experience enough to buy my own .44 and if I do it will not be a 4" or under piece.
