New Grips for a Charter Arms Bulldog DAO
I decided that the Charter Arms Bulldog I recently picked up need a better set of grips due to the way the gun is designed. The open backstrap with the sharp edges is simply uncomfortable. Therefore, I picked up a Hogue Monogrip and decided to make a quick video about it. No, I have not made a review video with this gun as of this initial posting, but one is coming soon. Please excuse my crazy lab mix barking in the background.

Saw some nice ones from the 70-80s not too long ago for around 300 .wouldn’t have mattered if they were $99.99.9999 at the time.budget has been too lean to think about wants lately. Like guns,like bullets but Like& need food .+ it’s election time. Generally stop shopping for a while every 4 years. just came across the first polymer ones of these recently online. Have 365xl & it looks something like one with some CZ + a grip safety ,now this metal one. & Yes,a gen 2 & 3 ect will come like the 2000s. Like to know exactly what the “patents“ are specifically. They will expire soon enough. Anyhow,have fun..but these ned to be built with good stuff to be good. Def not getting $500 worth out of this if that’s even what the cost. Sub & like. They add up & get Enough & free bullets & stuff eventually .free is good. Ps. Could go the rest of my life without seeing a mandatory optic cut being added on every single gun .rather go back to sending slides off IF you wanted to. Get it done where & how you want. PSs. Good holsters & belts don’t care about 2-3 pounds of steel. I know where some 1911s from 1911 are.where is that thing going to be in 113 years?its a shame to waste good ideas.

    I bought the Security-380 hoping for it to be a replacement for my S&W Shield 380 EZ because it holds twice the number of rounds, however I have not been won over by its reliability. I have about 1200 rounds through it and have replaced the firing pin and spring, the recoil spring, and the hammer spring and that fixed my light strike problems but I still am getting some failures to go into battery and some occasional FTE's. I've had hand surgery and have arthritis in both hands so a pistol that's easy to rack and doesn't punish my hands is what I need. I think you are right about them using the 9mm mag from the Security 9 and then putting in that funky short follower with the gap in it and that may be why mine hasn't been as reliable as it should be. Maybe I have been spoiled by the Smith as it always works 100% of the time no matter what kind of ammo I toss in it, but then I'd rather have an 8 shot gun that will always work than a 15 round one that may or may not always work. Sure wish that someone like Mec-Gar would come out with some mags for this gun as they always make excellent mags that you can depend on working every time, and supply the factory mags for a number of reliable name brand guns. Really wanted to love this gun but am quite disappointed with its overall performance, definitely wouldn't rely on it for a carry gun. Unlike a fine wine, we generally don't get better with age.

      @@Preacher357 My old Ruger P89 is built like a tank and has thousands of trouble free rounds through it, and as they say they don't build them the way they used to. The mags for the 380 has a spacer spine in it to take up the room that used to fit 9mm rounds in it. Not only does this appear to be mickey mouse engineering, I think that's where a lot of folk's problems stem from. There is also a balance there with the spring rates to get a lite rack system to work well, and perhaps they should have copied how S&W has mastered that balance with their EZ series and now with their 9mm Equalizer. The hit or miss thing really sucks when you're on the wrong end of it. Even though I have had problems with a couple of Taurus G2c's I recently got a Taurus TX22 Compact and am extremely impressed with how well it works, especially for a 22 LR semi-auto. That's a $250 gun that's less than the Security-380 that outperforms the Ruger by a long shot from a company who has not had the best of reputations. Maybe I just got lucky and got a good one, and maybe was unlucky with the Ruger though I too have heard a lot of folks complain about their LCP's and the LCP Max - good design and idea just not the best execution.

Why these don't completely cover the backstrap like those you have I don't know. I would prefer complete cover. These came with the revolver and I don't want to switch to the small Taurus rubber grips that give complete cover and came extra because I don't get a full grip. If I don't get a full grip then I don't have good recoil control regardless of concealability. I will just stick with these unless they become uncomfortable with +P ammo or heavy for caliber.

My first choice for larger guns are sa/da guns with an external hammer that I can cover the hammer when I draw from appendix cc but pocket carry guns generally are better without an external hammer that might snag so I prefer a safety version that I can train with so taking off the safety when drawing becomes muscle memory

    I bought one of those when they first came out. Mine came with two magazines. Yes, it does take 10/22 mags, BUT, the 10 rounders are tough inserting and removing them. No problems with 15 and 25 round mags. And unfortunately, the rear sight flew off while I was shooting it earlier this year. And it appears that the set screw was stripped, so I had to put an optic on mine, which is exactly what I DIDN"T want to do. But it does break down easier for cleaning than the 10/22. Good luck with yours.

    Yes, I absolutely carry my 30sc Shield Plus. I even own the 9mm Shield Plus and I carry the 30sc version instead because it recoils less and the 30sc HST rounds are just as effective as 9mm HST rounds. If you buy the 9mm Magguts +2 or +3 extensions and use them in your 30sc magazines, you increase the 13rd mag to 17rds and the 16rd mag to 19rds. With 19+1 rounds of HST, you're not losing anything with ballistics by carrying a 30sc. There's more of a difference between 40, 45 and 9m than there is between 9mm and 30sc. Ballistically, there's not much difference between 30sc, 9mm, 40, and 45, so capacity is always king when the ballistics are the same.

      When I shoot my 9mm and 30sc Shield Pluses back to back with HST rounds in both, it's OBVIOUS to me that the 30sc has less recoil. People confuse flash and bang with recoil and it's not the same. A 5.7 has flash and is loud as hell, but it has little recoil. 30sc has less recoil than 9mm because it's what the engineers at Federal measured and they do the math and physics that's necessary to prove recoil differences.

I'm not sure why yours is getting a 9 on the trigger, especially when the whole focus was to improve that issue by smith! I also reviewed a bunch of videos on this before I purchased it, as well as even now that I've owned it and very few others had a malfunctioning trigger issue but not many and all seem to think it shoots decent .

    Smith and Wesson Shield Plus in 30 Super Carry: Yay or Nay? Nay. .30 Super Carry falls between 9mm and .380ACP. Kind of like .40Smith between .45ACP and 9mm. Both of these calibers don't have the variety of ammo or availability of those they compete against. Nor do they have the popularity and in the case of 9mm, it is a NATO round fully supported by the military that the others don't have. .30 Super Carry barely reaches 9mm velocities and if anything is a better round than .380ACP which it does better at competing against than 9mm.

    I own a Shield in 30 SC, carry it often, and I really like it. The Shield is a great platform and the SC has great short barrel ballistics and moderate recoil. Avidity Arms recently released their PD10 in 30 SC. Hopefully we will see more handguns in this chambering soon!

    After finally getting a 380 for a more summer shorts and t-shirt carry weapon, I'm not sure a new caliber in a platform that is roughly the same size as my 9mm or 45 Shield's that are my EDC is going to be for me.

    I like the video, great comparison. But you should watch a few videos on how to use your calipers. At about 13 minutes, you stated the the calipers wouldn’t open far enough to measure the slide. Thats what the other end of the calipers are for.

    How you like the LCP II 380? I have one and had problems with mag drop when shooting, but fixed it. Mine, even with totally fixed sights is pretty dang accurate. Did you have the same problem with the LCP II mag dropping sometimes when firing?

      @@romeowalk8104 Yes. I have a video up on that I believe. I had the same issue with the LCP Max. Ruger is not putting strong enough mag latch springs in the guns. I ordered an aftermarket latch spring from MCarbo for the LCP II and had Ruger send me a new one for the MAX. I like the LCP II for its extremely small size. I can pocket carry it when I can't other guns. It isn't much fun at the range to me because the trigger pinches the snot out of my finger, but it still shoots pretty well. The pinching doesn't cause enough of a problem to keep me from carrying it, but if I shoot more than a box of ammo at a time I tend to end up with a blister on the side of my trigger finger.

But yeah, the regular LCP ll (I haven' shot the max yet) isn't the most fun gun to shoot, but I do love the size, and most things other than the small size and hard to shoot.. but it is after all a small, easy to carry defense gun, and it fits that purpose pretty good.
