The 296 is the oddball in your collection. Its an L frame 44. That means it groups with the 696 and 396 (all good company.) The odd thing is the coding is CA44, for Charter Arms Bulldog. The good news is they didn't move on store shelves, and I've found them really cheap, like a buck each, in a bargain basket. The bad news is a guy I worked with got me to give him 2 of them.
