I've owned a bunch of .44 Special 5-shooters: Charco Bulldog Pug (I think mine was from when they were operating under the "Charco" name), Rossi 720C, S&W 696, S&W 296, and whatever the Taurus "Total Ti" one was...445? One thing they've all shared (except the 696) was an aversion to >200gr bullets. I still have the 296; the light weight and Centennial configuration make it my favorite of the bunch.

Nice. Did they bring back the tumbling bullets, too?
It's surprisingly accurate, actually.
In about '83 in the Tacoma area I came across a small gun shop with an old fella packing a .44 Bulldog. He showed me his carry load, a pure lead slug with a gaping hollowpoint. He described the massive charge of 2400 he loaded them with and reading my expression he grinned and said it may not last long but he figured it would hold long enough to get the 5 shots off if it came to that. It was a big bore area in a big bore era. Two 2/75 NCOs I met told me 4" .41 and .44 N frames were the most popular PWs their compadres were packing.

That same demographic is overrun with Affliction shirts and Serpas now. They haven't, as a class, gotten dumber.
I had to search. I did not know what that was. http://www.afflictionclothing.com/mensThat same demographic is overrun with Affliction shirts and Serpas now. They haven't, as a class, gotten dumber.

...and not charge $1200 for it...
That was another suggestion I made to a factory rep at the NRA Annual Meeting, and got shot down on.
Of course, since the first one was to Ruger about an SP101 and/or LCR on .327 Federal...
