the siren call of 3" .44 spc.

seems like I find objects of lust when all I have is lint in my pockets

She's a beauty. Nice score subhuman. Congrats

 

[subhuman]

I wish it was mine, but it's still in the case

 

[MrBorland]

Nice, but it sure looks like a 4" to me.

Great find, I just got a Charter Arms Bulldog in .44 special.

 

[subhuman]

I think it is a 4" after doing some reading it just looks short on that big N-frame

 

[CaptainO]

Not a bad cartridge for a 4" barreled "N" frame. (I would tend to load it to about 900 fps with a 240-grain lead for antipersonnel duty).

Other than that, it is a great "plinker" as well.

Here is my 696 (five-shot L frame), 3" .44 Spl. Notice it has no lock. The dark stuff on the font sight is sight-black, left there since my last shooting session.

Yea, that’s a 4 inch tapered barrel 21. Didn’t make a 3 inch. I have a thunder ranch version of the same gun.
<700$, I would have taken it home also.
To bad it has the lock. Mine does also.
Great find

 

[bamaranger]

very nice

I have a soft spot for those tapered barrel N-frames too! Very nice indeed.

rare as hen's teeth

You have to be crazed to collect and shoot .44 Spl's.

Sweet, sweet combo of gun and cartridge, though.

 

[Webleymkv]

I had the nickel version and it was an excellent gun. I sold it in a fit of stupidity and I've regretted it ever since (particularly when I found out that they only made about 700 in nickel)

 

[JERRYS.]

nice gun!

Here's what a 3" 6-shot .44 special N-frame looks like.

 

[subhuman]

nice pistol Spacecoast!

I'm used to looking at the 3" K-L frame guns and the sp101, so I guess that my mind just looked at it and called it a 3" and it does have that profile, I just did not really consider the whole size of the gun.

 

[tallball]

Here is my 3" 44 special. It's a Rossi 720.

 

[Model12Win]

Nice guns! I just got a .44 special, though it "only" has a 2.5" barrel! It's a Charter Arms Bulldog, very lightweight at only 21 ounces.

 

[Ozzieman]

Webleymkv, your twice the man I am just admitting that.
I do feel for you. I found decades ago that if it has 44 special on it, never get rid of it. Don't eat, walk 20 miles to work but never give up your specials. I did once and live to regret it.

yep I own the same gun. love mine
