Title: Rodeo 44 Special
Post by: Roundsworth on September 22, 2017, 10:11:14 PM: Hi Everybody!
I recently purchased a real nice Rodeo in 44 Special, with a 5-1/2" barrel. I searched the forum and could not find much for information on them. Does anyone here own one? If so, how has it worked for you in regards to accuracy and handloading? Thank you!

Like all the USFA guns exceptionally good pistols. Every bit the equal to my Colt .44 Specials. I most typically reload using Unique and a 240 SWC. Found my 44s (4 pistols one '73 rifle) to be very accurate with that load.
