Just got off the phone with my local Stihl dealer and they said the 441 isn't available anymore/right now. Any ideas on what's becoming of it?

Who knows! A few years ago, I wanted an MS-461R and my dealer simply could not get one, even though they were still being produced. He tried for about a month or so.
I even sweetened the deal by $50.00. Didn't help any.
I'd check with another dealer and see what they say. It's been my experience that Stihl dealers aren't all that much up on their game.

Yeah I have found that too, but I was actually in another one on Friday and the service guy was trying to locate one too and he wasn't able to find one in Stihl's system.
But who knows maybe there was a run on them or something. It doesn't seem out here they try too hard either.

I don't believe it was a big seller so adios.
The 461 is a better saw for about $100 -& 120 more
If you get on the phone & call the dealers w/i 50-75 miles of you you'll probably be able to find one.
I've done that more then once

Yeah, get on the phone and call around. The CAL-RANCH store in my area had one the last time I was in there.
Took this pic a long while back when my local Ace hardware stocked their shelves.
MS441 is still in the same place today when I was there.
Bottom right. $949.99 plus Joetown tax.

They are available in Ohio standard or wrap versions. Very nice production saw. And a great choice as a one saw plan with a 20" and 28" bar. Sure like mine.
It's pretty bad when a hardware store sells more models of Stihl saws then a dedicated dealer does. 
We have an ACE Hardware store close-by. But, their stock of Stihl saws is limited. Mostly Homeowner & Ranch models. Very few Pro models.
But, they will gladly order anything you want, and if you press um, they'll do 10% off MSRP. They usually can get special orders within a week or so.
Oh yeah.....there's a rental place about 20 miles away, that stocks Stihl. They'll give ya 20% off pro models, in stock or special order.

I now buy my Stihl's from the John Deere dealers in Bloomington/Lexington, Illinois. The store in Bloomington usually has the full collection
Can't beat that with a stick
Bought a 261 & the 461 that way
