If people really want a short .45 cartridge with its own rim, then I'd start looking into the viability of trimming .45 Schofield brass down to .45 ACP lengths.

My dad had a CA undercover .38 Special revolver back in the 1970s.

Holy smokes. I had no idea, but Starline just created a .45 Colt/.45 Schofield cartridge with the length of the .45 ACP and are calling it .45 Cowboy Special.

Does anybody who is "in the know" or has spoken to Charter recently have any info on when the .41 Mag and .45 Colt revolvers are coming? It's been 6 months since I made this thread and I haven't heard anything about these revolvers since.

Most have no idea that the significant majority of hollow point .44 special ammo on the market will not reliably expand from the short 2.5" Bulldogs they cherish... sad.
I'll wager some .45 Colt loads will have issues, too. Full wadcutters already mentioned in this thread are a good idea for these guns. |

I've had a dozen Charter Arms revolvers, 22-38sp-44sp. These are second rate
revolvers. Ok for people who are buying a house gun. I wouldn't want to depend on one for CCW. The durability is not there. |

Even if they do have an issue, Charter will fix them no problem. Can't say the same for Smith and Wesson. Ruger everyone talks highly of, but the issue there is their revolvers shouldn't be getting sent back to them, same with Smith but the difference is Ruger doesn't take until the next blue moon to get your gun back.

American Eagle makes a 225gr jsp that shoots real nice out of my Blackhawk, if I dared to trust charter arms my life would be so simple, a pair of .45C and 380acp guns for everything.

I like Charter Arms and their revolvers, I just wish they'd add some different front sight options.

Very impressed with the quality of my bobbed hammer Bulldog DAO stainless. Surprisingly accurate, and has held up well.
Looking forward to the 41 Magnum. A round that always interested me, but I have never owned.

I'm a few 100 rounds away from the 4,000 count through my newish CCW Bulldog. Other than the typical holster and wear marks it's still accurately lobbing fairly big chunks of lead down range with out a single hiccup...ever. Guess nobody told it that it was a cheap gun that shouldn't be shot a lot. Go figure.....I will not hesitate to buy another CA. A 41 or 45 long colt is.....interesting. Hmmmm

I could see a 41 mag working and kicking!!
I don not see how a 10mm with a hot load could possibly retain the bullet in the case unless a heavy crimp and a moon clip were used.
