Light, powerful, small.<br /><br />Almost perfect for "Halitosis" range. Actually, it's fairly accurate out to 30 feet or more. I can hit center mass at 50.<br /><br />Problem is that .44 special ammo is tough to find. I haven't looked at the more expensive local gun store. But I bought the last box at my favorite one, and there hasn't been .44 special in any big box retailer like Academy for some time.<br /><br />Then again, it's my protection gun.

At least one. I owned it for awhile.<br /><br />Peter, there is not any official +P round in .44 Special. So anything over the SAAMI pressures for .44 Special will be a result of handloading. For the 5-shots in question (those not marked .44 Magnum) I suggest sticking with standard pressure commercial loads.
