I don't own any Charter Arms weapons but"The Son of Sam"&John Hinckley swear by them!As far as the .44 Special cartridge is concerned,it is WEAK!!I have two Model 629's(.44 Rem.Magnum).If you have a .44 Rem.Magnum weapon,you can shoot either cartridge.God Luck and God Bless

As far as the .44 Special cartridge is concerned,it is WEAK!!

While it's no .44Mag (I've loaded 185gr jhp to 1750 fps through my Super Redhawk - I'd never fire that in my 629!), you can get CorBon 165gr JHP @ about 1150fps, and W/W and CCI have 200gr loads at around 900 fps.

Not too bad.

Hey, since we're talking about .44Mag and 629s, anybody have any idea how much a Power Special 629 Grand Master might bring? It's in good condition, and with me being out of work, if I don't get a job soon, I may think about selling some of my collection, at least those that I haven't shot in years. Ron Power builds (built, actually, as he's retired now) some of the best S&W actions around.
