I just received an order for a 5 shot blackhawk conversion in 480 for a gentleman in South Africa so apparently it's appeal is not restricted by borders or seas. I still prefer the 475 but as my wrists age I'm starting to like the idea of less recoil.

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. John Wayne-The Shootist
