I don't care if you're courteous or not.

I'll restate that although the old .44 Special has it's fans, any quality guns available to shoot it are uncommon these days. I'm sure that the old S&W .44 you have is a nice old gun made with good old craftsmanship.

However, Charter Arms are low-grade guns. Taurus makes guns built like a tank though they have a reputation for highly spotty quality and reliability. Neither of these points are in question in the shooting community.

One: I really don't give a sh** if you are courteous either. However, I will repeat: I have had good luck with both Charter Arms and Taurus. As for you bad mouthing my S&W, that was a cheap shot. You don't like the .44 special, that's fine, but anyone who thinks S&W firearms aren't great is full of it.

BTW, I also have S&W, Ruger and Colt firearms, not to mention Winchester long guns. My so called "cheap gun" have held up as well as all of them.

I will continue to buy Charter Arms and Taurus as well as the other brand names I mentioned.

I've owned a couple of taurus products and I can say that My pt 92 was every bit as good as the nearly identical beretta product(and quite a bit cheaper) and since I make a living as a firearms instructor and fixing them I know from whence I speak. If you disagree with Me , fine, that's why they call them opinions.
