Actually, I have no problem shooting the .44 Special out of my Bulldog. I put on Pachmayr Compaq grips and they are much better than the factory neoprene grips. Definitely do NOT use any kind of +P or hot .44 Special in the Bulldog. For carry use Charter recommends Winchester Silvertip and I just shoot Remington LRN or Cowboy Action loads for practice. The main downside to .44 Special is the price of the ammo.
