i bought a used, all ss,(even the grip frame is ss) early.44 spl 3 inch unshrouded barrel with factory bobbed hammer in like new condition in the box with wooden grips for 225.00 OTD, a hard cast 225gr semi wadcutter at 750-800 fps is a close range stopper. and its only a few more oz,s than my S&W model 60 in .38spl. i,m sure the charter will not shoot 10,000 rounds of .44spl+p,s, but it has eaten several hundred 225,s at 750-800fps with out a hitch. when its to warm to wear a jacket or coat the charter is what i carry in a inside the pants holster with shirt tail pulled out. i don,t feel under gunned at all. eastbank.
