The State Police comment about "very few were made" is interesting. I would like to know just how many of the Bridgeport-made CA revolvers from the 1973-74 period were .44 BDs. My wild guess with no substantiation whatsoever would be no more than around 10K, and that number may be high. I think nearly the entire CA production could have been .38 Special Undercovers then as they were probably much higher demand items than BDs. Without factory shipping information, which seemingly does not exist, there is no way to know.
