L SNUBBIES Continuffdfrom pagff 35 be ess~ntial requirements. I ordered a Charter Arms .44 Bulldog through my favorite dealer and began to research my planned modifications and load design. Factory ammo then consisted only of 146-grain lead round nose bullets, loaded by Remington and Winchest~r.It was certainly more potent than the ubiquitous .38s; but I wanted something better. This turned out to be a must, for in later experimentation the factory loads oft~n jumped the crimp in the lightweight gun and would bind the cylinder. I decided that 14,000 c.u.p. would be my ceiling in the Charter. As I studied the lQading manuals and factory data, two obvious advantages of working with the .44 Special emerged. First, shortening the barrel length doesn't lead to drastic velocity losses as it does with high intensity cartridges, such as .357 mags and "hot" .38s. Secondly, adequate power is available without high pressure. This really cam~ home to me in a practical way when I accidentallyleft my hearing protection offduring experimentation, and my ears didn't ring. The Charter .44 arrived and after a few factory rounds to cheCk functionability it was off to the gunsmith. I had discussed my ideas with Austin Behlert of Monmouth, N.J., who agreed to handle the project. I ordered the barrel cut to two inches, a duty action job, chamfered cylinder chambers, smoothed and polish~d chambers, dehorned hammer and a smoothed and polished trigger. I had considered porting the two-inch barrel but decided against it when I read that porting pushes the muzzle flash upward in dim light situations. The original front sight was silver-soldered onto the shorter barrel and later filed down when load choice was finalized. (The finished front sight has the same appearance as the Charter Arms two-inch offerings in .38 and .32 caliber.) I had originally thollght that I would use the Pachmayr neoprene grips for my new creation, but when looking up the correct order number I found that the grip size was the same for all Charter revolvers. This was good news and a real breakthrough, for that meant all Charter's aluminum grip frames were the same size. And that size was small-small as the round grip on the S&W Chiefs Special M36. Charter only hung bigger pieces of wood on the larger caliber models. I had verified all this ob. my own .44 before sending it out for smithing. I was elated at my discovery and ordered a set of smooth grips from Charter Arms that would normally ride on its .38 snubby. I still invested in the Pachmayr's, but also sent for a Tyler T-grip.
