[QUOTE="Duck L'Orange, post: 2843421, member: 7814"] Doesn't .44 special still use the older slow-burning powders? In any case, the examples I see tend to produce way more smoke than their magnum counterparts. Most of the ammo I see are also hard cast "cowboy" lead nose bullets designed for lever actions, too. There are modern defense loadings out there, but you're looking at $1 per round then. Still, Charter makes solid revolvers. Don't expect watchmaker-worthy fit and finish, though. You won't go wrong, as .44spc is an extremely effective round, and about halfway between .38 and .357 in recoil. But I'd only get it if you're really interested in the niche appeal, as there are going to be cheaper and more practical options. Edit: cheaper as in ammo-wise I don't think I can find a better value revolver for $350 than a charter deep cover or bulldog. [/QUOTE]
