Back to Snubbies....How about Charter Arms?

[Michael Bane]

I note that the current issue of AMERICAN HANDGUNNER (Jan/Feb 2008) has a Charter Bulldog Pug .44 overhauled by Mag-Na-Port as their giveaway gun.....hmmmm...I didn't know Mag-Na-Port worked on little guns. They're not cheap, but their work is superb! Be nice to have my Bulldog civilized a bit, although I would like to reiterate that the thing has been a workhorse.

Read on a SW forum that the 44 Bulldog will be produced with 4 inch barrel and adjustable sites. It seemed to be a "reliable rumour" so I thought I would pass it on here.

I had a Bulldog pug in .44 spl. blue great carry gun and surprisingly mild to shoot. I would go for one again as a bug if I needed a snubbie.

Sent my Charter .44 to Ken Kelly at Mag-Na-Port...will let you know how it turns out!

Also, the BRITISH BULLDOG custom Redhawk project in 56-50 moves on forward!

I keep going back and forth- the 44 Bulldog would be fun, but I could also get 7 rounds with a Taurus in .357- that's no slouch.
OR I could say the hell with it and go 3" XD, Taurus MillienniumIII, lil' bitty Glock...

I want a small gun and I love autoloaders, but the snubbies are also callin' me. Bulldog-5 rounds, 357-7 rounds. What to do...

Jaybethel,

Remember "Wheel Guns are Real Guns". 

That saying is not lost on me Haz...I'm getting wifey the Ruger GP-100 blued with 6" barrel for Christmas. (She's a revolver girl who has always craved that model)
Trouble is, we have to keep things even, so the next one (by formula) has to be a bottom feeder. But maybe I'll just break the cycle.

I like auto loaders to but the sp101is a good snubbie for carry. and if mag n port is going to make one from a redhawk then I migh just have to take a trip down state and get one. Is been a while since I've been in the shop anyway.

I have the Taurus 617, 7-Shot .357. Am Carrying it right now in fact. I carry it about 6 days a week. It's a great gun. My advice is to get the Taurus first. Around here you don't see a whole lot of them, but the Charter .44's Are more common. If you get the Taurus first, and decide you want the Bulldog too, it won't take that long to save up the money for the Charter Arms.
