Well I already have a Charter Bulldog, so I likely wouldn't run out to pay more money for an LCR in the same caliber.
If they were to come out with a .44 snub, it would more likely be on the SP-101 platform. At least that's how I would go about it.

Because I've only ever seen, like, two .45 autorim cartridges in my whole life. If .44 Special is a bit of an oddball now, .45 Autorim is much more so.

Tom: It would need a larger frame & cylinder, but the grip/fire control module from the .38SPL/.357MAG LCR would be the same. That's why I think Ruger revolutionized revolver production with the LCR.....they can offer different calibers with much less retooling than with conventional revolvers. It may even become the AR-15 of revolvers (different caliber uppers on the same lower)....just not user-swappable....yet.
I have one of the " old style " Charter Arms Bulldogs with a three inch barrel . Their website lists what is basically the same gun , the " Bulldog Classic " . If you're looking for a .44 spec snubbie that's already here , you might want to look at it . If you're married to the hope that Ruger will make one , well , I agree , it would be a seller . Ruger says that when they get their North Carolina factory open , they will release ten new models . Maybe they are going to give you your wish .

Re the Classic: "estimated availability to be announced.
Finish is "high luster blue" but frame is stainless. how's that work?

I think a 5 shot .44 special on the GP100 platform with 3" barrel would be nice.

I would rather see a 5 shot SP101 in 44 special and a 6 shot 38 on the LCR platform. Now that I would be very tempted to buy. Manufacturers are really missing the boat on the 6 shot airweight in 38 in my opinion. Taurus did it, but I am a brand snob and want a Ruger or S&W.

The point is, they can't fit 5 .44 cal rounds into the LCR cylinder. The frame and cylinder would have to be larger, and that opens up possibilities for other calibers and for more rounds in the smaller calibers.
If Ruger doesn't do it , somebody else will. Skilled craftsmen are becoming extinct. The assembly process for the LCR does not require skilled craftsmen. Most new revolvers in 10 years will be partly plastic, or extremely expensive. The LSR could sell for $500 or less with excellent quality and reliability.

But,,, your poor hand,,,,,
Man, the recoil from my stainless steel Charter is bad enough,,,
I can't imagine what a .44 Special from a polymer frame would feel like.
OUCH!

No way. 5 shots is already limited enough capacity wise, a .44special lcr would be a 4 or 3 shot revolver.
Not possible.

I find my Air Light pretty nice to shoot... I don't shoot it too often though, as I'm concerned about wear on the scandium frame, titanium cylinder & paper thin forcing cone... aside from those concerns, I think mine shoots quite pleasantly ( & these grips have an exposed back strap )
