(There's always the Charter Bulldog) I have one and like it but there is no way I would shoot hot 44 Sp out of it. When they were first made some of the gun righters tried Elmer Keith loads, I don't remember any blowing up. Mine is one of the originals and it is not a lot of fun to shoot with standard 44SP but with oversized grips it is OK.
There is no free lunch (unless you are a member of Congress) a small light 44 mag is going to kick bad. 15 years ago I said recoil did not bother me, now my arthritic hands tell me different.
