Note previous posts re the MANY stages of Charter Arms - which I why I posted the Serial number range of mine. Re quality - I probably only have around 450-500 rounds through the BullDog - and have yet to experience any problems, challenges, or concerns re its performance. I do believe I do much better with the Smith, attributing this to the smoothness of the action at mucho-better trigger. Shooting "target" at the 50 foot pistol range I can get pretty much an equal number in the rings from each. Re accuracy - me NOT being any sort of an eagle-eye - at the twenty-five yard target, rounds from both revolvers similarly resemble a shotshell pattern - noting that ten shots from each will glean ten holes on paper. All in all, at the just about one-half price of the Smith, the BullDog remains a bargain worth having!
Taking both to range same session, I recall a buddy's comment: "If shooting the Smith is like paddling a canoe, then so is the BullDog - but it's like paddling uphill." This made no sense, but I cannot dispute his remark. BUT am delighted to have gotten it and still love it dearly! I have, too a S&W 696-1 which - also a 5-shot revolver, is most similar.
After my second time at range I acknowledged the wisdom of others in putting a Pachmyer grip on which made ALL the (comfort in shooting) difference.Īfter I've had it awhile, in retrospect, I wonder WHY I so wanted it. It is the Stainless Charter Arms Bulldog, s/n 14-49xxx, 2.5” barrel version, and came in original plastic case with papers and its factory grip. This fact alone - it's collecting dust for at least one and one-half years after *I* viewed - God knows how long it had been there before? - kept asking me, "WHY?" was it still here?īut - my want level exceeded my logic level - shop owner would not come down a Penny on price, either - but after licensing/permit wait, it followed me home. 44 Special, and for a zillion or so times peered at the Bulldog which had been in glass display case at LGS "forever".
Anyone with experience with them in that caliber or in general I would welcome your thoughts as to quality and accuracy.ĪtrI had a "want" for a. But I know nothing about the quality of Charter Arms brand. 44 special and there are many Charter Arms brand revolvers out there in that caliber.
