A Different .44 Special

Post by Pete44ru »

I stumled across this, while surfing this AM - one of Charter's new revolver finishes, even stamped "Tiger" on the bbl.

I almost didn't see it. ;) . :mrgreen:

I like it!

Blue steel and walnut is to be preferred, stainless, is
more practical, but I like it anyway. 8)

And I'm a fan of the 44 Special cartridge... :)

I like it. Looks like something John Wayne could have been carrying in "Green Berets".
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

Nothing I can't fix with the bead blaster at work...:lol:

Actually I have nothing against it as a carry piece since the finish would (usually) take a bit of a beating. Well, I wouldn't mind a concealed hammer .44 Special.... :wink:

Man! I like that. I'm gonna buy the first one I see.

Take that baby home and chop off the hammer spur, smoothen up the action, then see how it fits in the back jeans pocket.-------------6

What the quality control like on the latest crop of Charter Arms guns?
I want a 357 mag 5" barrel Target Bulldog but haven't seen one yet.

Mine is of 4 years or so ago vintage, and locks up tight, shoots nice. I put a set of Crimson Trace grips on it and it's my 'normal' CCW gun.

I've been lusting for a nice 'CCW' style 45 Colt for along time. I'd think a minimally-wider frame opening could contain the minimally-wider cylinder needed to do it.

Nothing wrong with a good rust resistant finish. I don't need one of that particular type, but when has need been the deciding factor?
