The Rossi 720 is excellent. It's one of my favorite handguns. They only made them for 2-3 years in the early 1990's. If you find one in good shape for a reasonable price, I would certainly recommend them. They are 3" stainless and kind of heavy, maybe a little smaller than a K-frame. There are fixed sight versions and adjustable sight versions, as well as SA/DA and DAO.
I had the newer Taurus. I think it was called 445. It was okay. Never gave me trouble, but the trigger was mediocre or slightly worse, and I liked my other 44 specials better. Taurus made a couple of older models, I think in the 1990's. They were called Model 431 and 441, IIRC. They have a good reputation.
The Charter Arms Bulldog was introduced in 1973. You can buy new ones to this day. I like mine. It's maybe in between the J-frame and K-frame in size. Mine is pretty light, but the recoil doesn't bother me and I shoot it about as well as any other snubby. I think you can get them DA/SA or DAO, or that's been the case in the past, anyway. I don't know if they still offer the shrouded hammer model. I like mine and carry it sometimes.
Please forgive the poor-quality pictures.
