I have two 44 Specials. Rossi 720 and Taurus 431. Each are carried on a daily base's. Both are loaded with Blazer 200gr ammo. Both carry well, both shoot great. Very reliable weapons.
I do wonder if there is a "tipping" point with regard to ammo prices that could serve to force a caliber into a niche. 44 special and 41 mag are both very expensive (due to less consumer demand) but at the same time...demand will likely remain strained due to the price of ammo alone.For the first time in a long time, I peered at the prices for .44 Special ammo in a store. $52 for a box of 50 Remington 246gr Lead Round nose. I do not know how people who do not reload could afford to shoot very much at that price. High performance ammo in the 20 round boxes were even worse (per round price). I think some were $26-$27 per 20.
I carry my S&W M-19 44 spl. once in a while...
