Charter Arms Bulldog 44 spec - yay or nay?

[wtr100]

haven't seen it yet so not 1000% sure what it really is

but it sounds like blue with about a 3" barrel - hardly used - for about 225

didn't Charter have a few 'off' years - supposedly it's in the box with the sale receipt so I'll have a good idea of the vintage

MB loves his!


I just got my .44 Special Bulldog back from Mag-Na-Port, and it is a great little self-defense revolver.

I had one and dearly loved it.  Everytime you pressed the trigger it went boom.  What more can you ask?

I had one of the original Charter Bulldog .44s back in the early 1970s.  It shot great and was comfortable to shoot with any .44 Specials I tried.  Like too many others, I sold it after several years, and I have no idea why.  I wish I still had it.  The newer versions look like they'd be a keeper.

I have two new Charter Arms Bulldogs.  I had some trouble with the first one, but had a gunsmith friend of mine work it out for me, seemed the trigger would stick in the rearward position upon firing the first shot.  He slicked up the action then I fired it some and it seemed to work the problem out.  I think this was an isolated problem to his particular gun not to the Bulldog in general.  The second one I bought was flawless.  Love 'em both carry one in the car and one for ccw.  Good hard working gun, nothing fancy but just hard working.

I have had mine for 2 years. Great carry gun. No problems to this point.

My wife has one of the '70s .44 Bulldogs.   She likes it, though doesn't shoot it often.    I did break a piece of the extractor off, but it was too much trouble to replace.  Works well without it.  One or two shots from that will discourage any intruder.  Not worry about speed reloading.
