My daughter had a 5 shot , 44 special , snub nose Taurus , 445 I believe was the model.
Fired it several times, liked it and got myself one but in 45 acp in 2004 , I have been reloading 45 acp since 1968 and all set up for that round. so took the 45 acp the dealer had in stock model 455 . No reload 44 Special.
My daughter had to use her's to stop an armed robber from executing all of the people in her place of business....when he said "face the wall and kneel down" she knew he wasn't just going to leave with the cash box...after all the trials and appeals a few years passed and the 44 special couldn't be located...Sorry about that she was told .
I still have my 455 and love it...it's the most accurate 45 acp I own...shoots one hole groups like it was possesed with magic . No trouble, no problems ...love it !
