CWKahrFan - - - thank you for your comments & the link. Yes, I did get the chance to read that. I've been doing searches on "44 Special" and "Bulldog" lately !
I took a look at a Bulldog in a local gunshop last week. It's a 4" target model with the adjustable sights. After reading guys experiences with these going back 40 years and the various versions under different ownership, I didn't quite know what to expect with the new guns. I checked it out thoroughly and it looked like a good solid gun, and IMO a real value at a price of about $350 for the fixed sight snubbie model.
I'll have to do a little thinking as to whether I might see this doing double duty as a lightweight trail gun. If so, I might go ahead and pay the extra for the 4" barrel and adjustable sights. I often carry a S&W 45 Colt Mountain Gun (4" barrel N-frame) in an IWB holster, so a little extra length doesn't really bother me.
Thanks again everyone.
