Reeder Custom Guns - Charter Arms Bulldog 44?

I have a chance to buy an unfired CA Bdog for a couple hundred. Has a bobbed hammer. That’s all I know. It’s at my LGS and they are holding it for me to look at on Saturday. This is a gun that I’ve had interest in but always bought “better guns.” It will be a lot like my PD with not a lot of heavy lifting. I read that as long as I stay away from Charco guns and look for newer editions or ones with Stamford CT on the frame/barrel I should be fine.

What say you Misfits??

well made as the other Bulldogs. The Bulldog, like the other Charter Arms are not meant for everyday shooting. They are meant for carrying and shooting a little. They will do well for you as long as you stay away from 44 magnum level loads. Charter Arms has suffered from a lot of wannabe gunsmith and wannabe experts bashing them on the internet. We have sold them for 35 years or more and as far as I know we have never got one back with problems. If I carried a revolver for self defense I wouldn't have a problem carrying a Bulldog.

down south where the heat & humidity had me wearing only a ss plaid cotton shirt daily (pattern broke up any minuscule 'printing'). I worked in a large plant & sometimes had to squeeze between & climb up the damnedest places. I'd forget I was carrying it & regretfully it hit the concrete floor hard several times, to no effect. Decent accuracy too. Only switched to a .45 when I ran into a multiple opponent scenario (heavy, chunky speedloaders decided it). The Mrs carried their .38 Undercover (5-shot snub), never had an issue with either...
