Am I crazy??? Charter Arms Bulldog .44

[Hizzie]

and that's why I said "I would go with a snub nose S&W 329 or 629. I'm not a small guy with small hands so being able to hold an N frame Smith is not an issue - unless your a dwarf are N frames really too large to hold? The 329 PD weighs 29.7oz and the 629 weighs 39 oz vs the Charter Arms Bulldog weighing 21 oz. So for 8 oz more I get higher quality, better accuracy, better trigger, better sights, ability to shoot 44 mag and 44 Spc and an increase to 6 shots from 5. If you are a dwarf or have issues carrying 8 more oz than I would look elsewhere. I wouldn't choose either as my primary CCW as there are better options than 44 Spc revolvers.

Not sure what I said to deserve the childish name calling. It is not the weight or overall size of the gun. It is the trigger reach. It is just too long for me to properly hold an N-Frame in-line with the bones of my forearm without shifting my grip in order to get my finger on the trigger properly for an effecient strioke.

I really like the bulldog concept and want one, but every time I actually get my hands on one at a LGS, I can't bring myself to purchasing it. The quality is not there.

Holding the weapon is not usually an issue when thinking along CCW lines. Like hizzie said reaching that trigger can be a pain but more important to me is weight. I've been carrying concealed for the last 26 years and how it feels on the belt due to weight is a big deciding factor.

If you only knew how many 686 snubbies I've bought from big eyed rookies in the eighties. They just didn't want to carry em any longer. They bought Walther PPK's
