Been waiting for Ruger to make a carry 44 but it doesnt look like this will happen soon. How is the quality of the Charter Arms 44s? Heard the firing pins had an issue a while back. Would you recommend one model over another?.
I thought the sequence was more like Good OK, then poor, then poorer, but I'll take another look.Don't overlook the fact that Charter Arms is currently on it's third life. From my understanding, the first generation of guns were Good-Poor; the second Poor-Abysmal; and the third generation are supposed to be pretty good guns. If it's been a while since you examined a new Charter Arms revolver, it might be worth a look.
... I had hopped S&W would make it on a K frame with 5 shot, round butt, 2-inch barrel...
Mine shot ok, DA sucked, SA was ok, didn't have any reliability issues with it. It just want my gun. My buddy still has the gun and likes it a lot. I bet Charter Arms has sold a billion of the little color schemed 38 spl for the ladiesI thought the sequence was more like Good OK, then poor, then poorer, but I'll take another look.
I was thinking the .45 ACP is pretty close to the same as .44 Special but ammo is cheaper and easier to find. I've never owned or used a revolver chambered for auto cartridges with the moon clips, though.I have a Charter Arms bulldog XL in 45 Colt. It has a few hundred rounds through it and shoots fine. This one, and the version in 45ACP are larger frames and cylinders than the 44 Bulldog, and it weighs a few ounces more.
The front sight height is the same as the ACP version, I believe, so 255 gn loads tend to shoot high for me. If I use 225-230gn bullets like the ACP would it is pretty much right on. Makes a handy backpacking snub that you can fit in a coat pocket.
