Thinking Charter Arms Bulldog for CCW

I carry the modern stainless Bulldog .44spl with the 2.5" barrel. I also own a vintage Bulldog with the 3" barrel.

I've been nothing but pleased with my Bulldog. It's a light and ergonomic little powerhouse that I think is fun to shoot (and I even retrofitted mine with the old-style wood grips).

As a previous poster stated, the triggers on Charters are never going to be like a S&W (the S&Ws that use a leaf mainspring). That having been said, the trigger on mine is actually quite nice. The trigger was okay right out of the box, and has smoothed out a little since then. Now, I have a mag Pug .357 (built on the same frame as the Bulldog) and the trigger is nowhere near as nice as my Bulldog's. I guess they vary from gun to gun. No surprise, becasue I have two identical Ruger GP100s (both built in 2012 and only 40 serial numbers apart), and the triggers on them are as different as night and day.

My advice: Check out the Bulldogs, and look for one of the ones with a nicer trigger.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't trade my little Bulldog for anything.
