Thinking Charter Arms Bulldog for CCW
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.

Charter Arms Chic Lady experience?
My personal experience with lightweight-framed CF revolvers is that, while they're much nicer for carry, they're a bear to shoot with heavy loads.
One of my Daughters CCW's one that she carries with high-performance loads, but she practices (weekly) with standard (.38 Special reloads, actually) loads - only occassionally shooting a few high-performance loads to remind her how they shoot, if/when she needs to defend herself.
So........ Caveat Emptor. . \ABS\Auto Blog Samurai\data\Casting Boolits\thefiringline\tongue.gif)
