I'm about to buy a 4" 44mag revolver from Taurus. Anybody have any experience with this style?

My 4" Taurus in .357 is extremely well made and has a rock solid feel.

I know a guy at the range who's happy with his. I prefer Smiths, but the Taurus is a good deal and strong.

I had the veritable S&W Mod 29 (Dirty Harry's gun) with 6 inch barrel and Pachmyer grips and found it to be the most accurate and comfortable revolver I'd ever owned. Haven't tried the Taurus.

The Mod 29 was far superior to the Ruger SP-101 .357 snubby, which didn't get enough muzzle velocity to mushroom hollowpoints and left the palm aching after target practice.

The S&W was mainly for going out in the woods as open carry.

I've shot a 3 inch .44 Smith. Load it with light .44 Specials. Try it first with full power .44 mag, before you buy it, if you want. Maybe you'll be able to shoot it. Big recoil, big flash, I'm told that you don't get as much velocity as you would with a longer barrel, but I can tell you that I wasn't able to get a quick follow up.

My PT99 works great and taurus does have a lifetime transferable warrenty

I carried a .38 from Tarus for several years as a security officer. I could not ask for a better side arm, after I got the "bugs" worked out. I fired +P+ rounds and broke a spring while on the range. It cost me $20.00 to get fixed. I had also put combat grips on it for better control, & went with a 3 dot sights on for combat shooting operations. It had a 4 1/2 inch barrel for quick draw situations.
