I have two .44 Charters - one is a 3" and the other is 4" "target". Both '70s vintage. The 4" sucks - lousy execution of a good idea. The 3" is a good gun that I'd be carrying if I carried revolvers. The reason that I didn't carry it "back in the day" is that there wasn't a convenient way to carry reloads. Speed loaders and ammo wallets were too bulky. Now that they make Tuff Strips for it, it's a very viable carry gun. The "D" frame Colt holsters seem to fit the Charters well. I was lucky to find a holster for a 3" Dick Special

that fits the Charter like it was made for it.

By the way, I keep them loaded as house guns with Glasers.
