Actually, it's listed in the local catalog for $425 for 4", $443 for 6.5" 
in blue - about $60 more for stainless.
Personally, I can do without the oversize grips. My small hands require 
smaller grips. No idea why you'd need to port a .357 with even a 4" 
barrel though. Now, maybe their 2" model 605 needs the porting ...

I'm a math teacher. I can count my shots from a Beretta even when firing 
a full mag in 30 seconds. Or an AR-15. It's actually harder when you stop 
for a minute in the middle - you know, when some fool down the line heads 
downrange or some such.
But would a 12-shot revolver be a "high capacity ammunition feeding 
device"? So I guess they won't make one after all!
