I understand your craving, I had the same craving at one time myself. I sadisfied mine with a model 83 Freedom Arms. It is only a five shot but can wreck your wrist just as well as any 445. :lol: It is capable of velocity with heavy bullets that will do any job you would want and holds its resale value like no custom can.
In America we are free to choose and I love that. I'm not saying everyone has to choose the way I went. I am only trying to steer you into looking at a nice alternative I found available to sadisfy my craving.
When you look at the expense of dies, brass, leather, and other accessories it adds to the cost as well as base gun, gun shipping cost, gun smithing cost, and time spent waiting. Factor these into the picture and the model 83 becomes even more attractive. One more factor is a used 83 can be found at attractive prices and if your carving can't be sadisfied this way you can always recoup your investment in short order.
