I had a stainless .44 many years ago. I don't remember the barrel length, but 3 inches seems about right. I fed it a few boxes of Remington standard pressure loads and a bunch of handloads that were all well under SAAMI specs. (I tend to handload down, not up.) Nevertheless a pin that fastened the trigger guard to the frame bent under the stress. (Either part 32 or 34 on the Numrich diagram, I don't remember which.) Naturally, when I tried to get that fixed at the factory, Charter Arms chose that month to go belly up. I had it repaired privately, sold it and never looked back.
This one, I purchased in 1984, Charter Arms had been making the three inch version since 1973. I replaced the original factory hammer with a snagless version. The original grips were wood, these plastic grips were much better on the hand and they actually feel pretty good.
I used to carry the thing, but I ended up preferring smaller 38 Special snubbies.
I have both the Classic .44 Bulldog, as well as the 2.5" SS version purchased the first in around 1974-75, and the 2.5" SS version in 2017, both are reliable firearms and quite rugged as far as an inexpensive firearms go. Definitely nothing you would want to shoot for a prolonged session at the range. Excellent customer service from what I understand, but have never had to use it. The Classic, I had to install Pachmyer grips on it shortly after purchasing it to tame it down a bit.
