I think the .44 Special is one of the great “ under rated” cartridges of all time. I have a little Charter Arms Bulldog that I carry from time to time. Picked it up for about $125 if I remember right. Put a decent set of grips on it and I do like the way it shoots.

Thanks for the tip on those wad cutters. I never thought of that. I may try loading a few like that for personal use. Got about a thousand .44 Spl brass laying around. It’s a fun cartridge to experiment with.

Best,

L

It's a great cartridge. I have a 24-3, a 696, and a 1926 Third Model.

I'm looking for a Colt New Service in .44 Special that is affordable so I can have it "Fitzed".

I picked up a .44 Special S&W back in 1968. Great gun even with fixed sights.

I’ve found the m-29 S&W to be easy on the hand if I use Pachmayr grips with normal magnum loads.

I just realized I haven’t shot either one since 1988!
