bulldog 44 spl.
Wandering around the gunshop today I took a good look at a charter arms bulldog 44spl. Super light 5 shot snub. Had a pretty good trigger pull nice grips and standard fixed blade front and notch rear revolver sights. It didn't seem even nearly a pound in weight.

How much bigger than your 442? Probably give you a more energy than the .38sp. I've never seen too many folks shooting Charter Arms, but it is not one you would shoot thousands of rounds a year from.
That is, unless you are like a shooting acquaintance who wore out a Taurus 850 shooting 200-300 rounds a week for several years.

Looked up the weight on charter's web site, 21 oz. I handed it to another guy at the counter and he was suprised at the ight weight too.
It's about the size of a model 10 with a 2.5" bb....
It would make a good belt holster carry gun not so much a pocket pistol.
Now the recoil cannot be worse than my 629 44mag with a 4" tapered barrel. That gun is way more fun to shoot with special type loads than mags...... But the mags are fun in small doses.

It's about half the weight of your 629. It ought to be interesting to shoot. I looked at the Charter web site, saw all the pretty colors and remembered I had seen them at a gun show. Seemed to be fairly well built from the gun counter test. They were not exciting enough for me to get another 4" .357/.38.
I think a K frame .357/.38 with a short barrel would be a touch more versatile than the .44 special if you were looking for belt carry.

Not that extreme..... But I am hoping for good ice on the lakes to go diving under....
