I carry a Charter Bulldog in 44 Spl. It’s light, relatively hide able for a wheelgun and packs a punch. Carry guns are for relatively close use so I’ve never felt the need for a magnum. I’ll never put 1000 rounds through it. I’ve owned Charter revolvers for years and never had an issue with one. I don’t use the bigger bores for target practice, though the little Pathfinder 22 I had killed many a squirrel and coke can when the opportunity arose!
