"Not sure why anyone would want a K-frame snubbie.
The J-frame is smaller and far, FAR better for concealment." K-Frames come with a much better trigger pull. You have to change springs to get a decent trigger on a J-Frame. K-Frames handle hotter loads much better than a J-Frame. K-Frame has 6 shots, J-Frame has 5. There is more than just concealment involved.

I am hoping to find a pitbull in 9mm or .40. It will be my first Charter arms revolver.

You'll have a better chance finding a .40 Pitbull. I haven't seen ANY 9MMs.

I love my early 70s Undercover. It does everything it's supposed to and nothing it isn't supposed to do. The grips make it fun to shoot.

I just bought a new .44 Bulldog and was wondering if there is a grip that would help with the recoil? The Charter grip looks like a Pachmayr Gripper but I am not sure it is? How about Hogue? If I have to shoot lighter bullets I guess I'll just go back to my .45 ACP. Tried a 265gr at 1000 fps and two was all I wanted to shoot!
Thanks Fred |

As for Dan, I've heard that the patriot .327's had some problems, apparently charter frames didn't hold up well to .327 pressures. Have you had any problems? I had a patriot it lasted about 300rds before it started having cyclider rubbing problems. They told me straight from the service center that the frames were not strong enough for repeated heavy shooting in that cal. They exchanged my 327 for a .357. I have have no problems with it or the 44 sp bulldog. |

Hopefully some others will weigh in on this, but I think that load is way too stout for the little Bulldog. From everything that I've read, the .44spl Bulldog is a lot happier with lighter bullets, or at least lighter loadings. I run mine with 200-grain Gold Dots for carry, and practice with 240-grain cowboy action loads which are probably loafing along in the low 600 fps range (I don't have a chrono). The Bulldog is a lightly-constructed weapon, and really stout loads will wear them out in short order. My .02 -lc |

my Rossi 720 handles 240gr. reloads at 800 fps buts it is more than I'd prefer in this gun. factory cci 200gr. gold dots do a good job as do the 180gr. Hornandy XTS. the Win STHP 200gr. seem a bit watered down to me. the load you listed as shot is well beyond the bulldog's realm. |

The .32 wadcutter target loads were pleasant to shoot I just saw an article on the 9mm Pitbull in a very recent gun magazine, so they must be so new that we haven't seen them. That one might be a fun 6-shooter and I'll be paying some attention. Shorter frame than a .38 Special gun (I think, I am not sure) and an ejector rod that full removes the cases, unlike some .38 guns. Bart Noir

Thanks Lowercase and Jerrys. I have loaded some 240gr and tried them yesterday, BIG difference. The 240 at 950 was no pain at all. Granted the 265gr at 1000fps was on a cold day and cold fingers get hurt easy, but ya it is too much for the Bulldog. I will keep those in the Ruger Flat top. I do have some 200gr on the way and will see how they go at maybe 1000fps.

Ejector rod
Has anyone experienced the end of the ejector rod unscrewing and coming loose?
What is the fix? |

TPD- you just made a mistake and let the word out that they have LEO and Military pricing . Time to spend some money. I'm wanting a 5" 40 as well.

HELLO!
This is the only Charter forum I could find.
I bought a new Bulldog Tuesday evening before Thanksgiving. Wednesday morning, I went to the range before work and shot it for the first time. About round #75 the gun blew to pieces. I called Charter and told them the gun blew up and I was responsable because I was using my dads reloads. Dee said "send it in". I asked for a shipping label. She asked how old the gun was and which model. I told her it was a week old so she sent me a free shipping label. I sent it back and within a week I had a new one including serial #. |

Now for the new one.
Shoots GREAT, I took a little off the front sight after I had it while.
In my Galco King Tuck for my J frame Chiefs Special. It fits in my ankle holster too, but its kind of heavy and makes me walk funny. The Pac Compac grip really helped with control and keeps my finger from getting whacked by the trigger guard. |

nice story, nice pics.
But, the Bulldog does not look like it fits the Galco holster well.
