I like it. Warm up reloads for a thumper that's easy to handle or back off for plinkers. Bullets are easy to find and one of the local WalMarts has the Winchester Cowboy load if I need brass.
One of my grail guns!

It is fun. Stumbled across it at Best Pawn is Stilly YEARS ago and the wife bought it for my b-day. When I got it, the grips were gone (had Smith Pachmayrs from a later N-fame) and the holster was no where to be seen. Finally found the grips for a small phenominal fee and watched for the holster for at least a year on ebay. The holster slots have been modified for a wider belt but I think I can clean them up and re-dye the raw leather.
Action has been worked......man is it nice. It is definitely a shooter....not a safe queen.
when i was 12 my grandfather gave me a charter bulldog,i carried it every where i went and used it on everything from snakes to coyotes to javalina to mexican bandits .worked every time
The first one I ever saw was on the hip of my ol' buddy Will Andrews up at H&H gun range. I was in CLEET at the time...it was at DPS at 36th & MLK back then (summer 1990). I like to refer to this era as the downfall and the "winter" of the poor wheelgun's service life.
It was during the transition period when everybody had discovered the wonder-nine and was switching over to wretched bottom-feeders, jam-o-matics, Dick Tracy guns - whatever you wanted to call 'em.
Even though I too wanted to jump on the automatic band wagon, and even had the weapon and duty rig for it, I still loved and trusted my revolver.
A local deputy where I worked had a 624 and he and I worked up an outlandish trade. I swapped him my beloved Smith & Wesson 645, the very pistol I was gonna take to semi-auto transition school, qualify with and carry on duty, along with 5 magazines, a complete duty rig, 500 rounds of ammo and $100 cash for that snub-nosed beauty.
I kept it until I discovered the Glock 22 the very next year and alas, I've been a plastic guy ever since. Sorta.
I do have a soft spot in my heart for good ol' Smith & Wesson revolvers and yeah, I still wish I had that ol' 624 back. Like most all of the S&W wheelies I've turned loose of over the years, she too was a sweet shooter.
Damn you Leighton! 
.44Spl??????? Its called Special for a reason, just like the .38Spl.
Now that's perty right there.

I think you and I discussed the fact we had these once before.
Is this the Jack T originally from Pawnee?
Maybe you and I need to talk about that 624.
