I can not comment on the new CA's but the older 70/80's from the Stratford Ct. Factory were good low price guns! I worked there in the 70s and the .357 and 44 were well made for the price. I assume they still are! I am planning on a CA Snub if I cannt get the one a purchased for my dad.
If possible rent one and see how it feels, Sorry not much help

I don't know much about the newer ones, but the old .44 Bulldog was a handful! Recoil increased as it was fired, since the rounds made up a good percentage of the weight of the gun! I can't remember what I swapped mine off for but mine is long gone.....
