My take on it was that Charter Arms 44 was built to both a price point and a use that was not intended to be heavy or target.

Not sure if it was EK who said carry lots, shot little but that describes my CA 44. I bought it for a reason as it had the pop in those days others lacked and I could keep it reasonably concealed, throw in a glove box and cart around and not worry about messing up a fine gun.

It always was reliable though. The grips shift a bit which is disquieting to S&W and Colt users and the like but it doesn't affect the gun use any.

It was funny my wife could shoot it better than I could and I was a pretty good shot back in the day.

I have gotten rid of all my low cost guns but that one. I keep it around the house as a grab gun.

Modern SD ammo has negated the advantage of the old low slow led slugs but its also still a good go to gun. Not the prime one but no qualms about grabbing it if its the nearest one.

I have to get it down to the range and shoot it a few times again though!
