    If you shoot a bad guy with that, he doesn't get to scoff and say, "doesn't count, it's just a charter arms." It works, and yours has apparently worked for almost 50 years. Case closed, but I look forward to your testing nonetheless.

      Those Charters were built stout-actually overbuilt- because Super Vel ammunition had just come out and Charter wanted to make sure the guns could handle it. Using standard pressure ammo, there's just no telling how many rounds you could get out of one.

    Sir, one of the "best" vids I've seen/heard ever on economy-minded snubbys that work, and work well! Have packed a Bulldog .44 since the 70's. Used as my off duty arm and sometimes primary on special assignments during the 70's, 80's, 90's, and into this new century. Carried much, shot little, and always close by since retirement. Have spent more time at the range with it since pulling-the-pin as it is now primary to me as I go out and about. I NEVER took any notice of the few critics of Charter Arms guns! Very few can ever say they have carried a Bulldog longer than myself, the same Bulldog purchased in 74. Thanks again for this great video!

    Well I have a $900 Masterpiece of a pistol then I had the barrel and slide ported, then added a fancy Red Dot sight so now I have $2,000 in it. Ya it won't make the bad guy any deader than your PT 111 G2 will. But when they put my weapon in the evidence bag and I realize $2,000 is walking away forever, oh... never mind , I be better off carrying the G2.

    • @walterminer4990

      Well, I've been shooting my PT111g2 for around almost 4 years. Clean and lube the gun every 2 months even if I haven't shot it.
      I trust the gun. When I get home from shooting cleant and inspect it. I'm new to the polymer world. I've been carrying revolvers or 1911 platform .45 & 9mm since 1973! So I figured why spend a ton of cash on a polymer gun?
      Well, I like this one!
      Besides without budget guns a lot of good people might not be carrying? I don't care if its a Hi-Point or a Wilson Combat just be able to protect yourself, loved ones and maybe others!

    I look forward to updates. I had two Charter Arms in the past. An old Bulldog back in the 80s and a Mag Pug more recently. Loved them both. Lost the .44 in my divorce and the .357 due to hard times. I have been debating about getting a new Bulldog for my Christmas present to myself this year. I think I will do that and I will also check out my LGS for a used .38. I have my semi-autos but I definitely "need" a revolver like this. Thanks for the video. Found you through Charter Arms link on their Facebook page.

      Well I didn't make it till Christmas and am now the proud owner of a new Bulldog Classic. Very pleased. I have my semi-autos but there is something about a shiny black revolver that is just more aesthetically pleasing and just nice to hold and shoot. I made a slight modification to a Clinger comfort cling pocket holster and the Bulldog both hides and draws easily from my Duluth cargo pants. I have different guns for different needs. The Bulldog fills one of them very well.

    The main thing, IMHO, in determining how useful ANY CCW handgun is, is whether it goes ‘bang’ when you pull the trigger. I have a KelTec P32 that I’ve carried for 2-plus years. It goes ‘bang’ when I pull the trigger, every time. No one that I might be forced to pull it on is going to care that they’re being shot at with a .32 ACP. All they’re going to care about is that they are being shot at. They’ll probably leave the immediate area quickly. And no one is going to care that they being shot at with an old Charter Arms Undercover. They WILL care if they get hit by it.

    The only private (off duty) weapons that were approved by my former agency were Colt or S&W. A few 9MM & .380s were added before I retired in ‘97 and we had to qualify w/anything we carried off duty. My issued 4” Model 15 was too difficult to conceal on my skinny frame.

    good point bub. I have one gun that's about $250-$300 and I did some modifications to make it more reliable not that it ever had any malfunctions before anyway but I figured might as well make it as reliable as possible. and for free as well. Just a couple hours worth of polishing and im convinced it's just as reliable as my glock but i guess i dont really know since ive never had a malfunction out of either pistol.

    Buddy, I wandered into my pawn shop a couple years back and they had a beat to death looking Charter "Off Duty" .38 that was obviously a lot newer production that what you have there. $100.00- So I'm thinking, "What the %$&*, it's a hundred bucks. If it light strikes, I'll re spring it. Hell, if it shoots at all, I'll be happy." That damned thing shoots and shoots. I point at something, pull the trigger, and there's a hole there. Cylinder's got no wobble, timing's good, trigger is smooth. What's not to like? I was amazed. All that and if it gets stolen or confiscated? I'm out a whopping hundred bucks. I wouldn't like that mind you but, it's a hundred bucks. Here's what kills me; there were two of them like that, identical twins for that price in the case. The guy that traded them in must have had them as ditch guns or tool box pieces, something. If I'd known then at point of sale what I know now, I would have gladly taken the second one as well. Now every time I'm out, I'm looking for beater looking Charter's on the cheap. But the older one's like you have there? In moderately good shape? They're commanding in the low 2's at most gun stores and pawn shops in Central Florida I visit. I re springed a Taurus 85 just the other day that was a "refurb" from Bud's that I'd gotten for $230.00 a few years back and even after I re sprung it, it's still light striking! (Just not as badly as when I got it initially...) with Wolff springs!! This Charter? ZERO light strikes. Sometimes you strike gold for cheap, I'll personally attest to that as well.

    You might not live long enough to break that pistol. Unless you feed it a constant diet of +P+ that is. I've been shooting my Charter Arms .44 Bulldog for about 40 years and it's still as tight today as it was when I bought it brand new. It was my carry gun as a private investigator in Chicago for years and I shot it often. I still take it to the range at least once a month since it's now relegated to my bed stand piece. I don't have an exact number of rounds, but I figure it's gone through at least 40,000 rds. and probably many more. Say what you want about Charter Arms weapons, I know they work and work well. Not for competition, but for everyday defense they're damn good.

      No, I already have a S&W 642 and a Ruger LCR .38 Special. I didn't have any money when I saw the Undercover.

    Wow! That was the best way I've ever heard it said! "It doesn't matter how much you're gun costs, it matters how much it works" I too am a big fan of "the working mans handgun". Thanks for the great article. I'm hoping to be able to purchase a new Charter Professional in .32 magnum.

    Ever noticed the guys that shot every firearm out there and know firearms and get paid to do it when they show you what they carry they bust out these old timer tiny revolvers and such BUT when the tacti tard fanboys bust out the laser glock looking plastic guns with the flashlights and other bullshit they just look like fools that spent too much money? Just sayin...

    I need to move someplace with stupider people and easily-dickered pawn brokers. Around here when people sell their guns they want almost retail price, even if it's old and beat up. And I've never been in a pawn shop that didn't have the going price on their firearms, even if they haven't been cleaned in years and are still caked with dirt. If I ever see a $50 revolver, I'll give a nod to its owner as he rides by on his unicorn...

    If it does the job then by all means! Besides if you defend yourself the police are probably going to take your gun and you may not get it back.

      Nimbly, did you know there is a portion of the USCCA memberships that would go towards replacing your firearm if it were seized as evidence in your self-defense incident?

    First, I want to clear up a problem with your straw man argument in response to the question, “how much is your life worth?” The implied portion of that question is not, “to the bad guy.” The question, as it is asked, is, “how much is your life WORTH TO YOU.” My life is worth significantly more, TO ME, than it is to anyone else. This is why I pay for USCCA insurance at the Platinum level. If I were to use your strawman, USCCA doesn’t offer a package low enough to cover how little your strawman argument asserts my life is worth...
    Second, the next time you have to get that firearm repaired, you’ve “totaled” it, right? You paid $50 for it, you will pay $25, and the time after that you have spent as much repairing the firearm as you have paid for it. However there is an AND here. You ALSO go without the firearm while it isn’t in your possession. If it’s all you can afford, you are now without your CC or home defense firearm. What’s that worth?
    Third, when does a tool break? When you are using it. When do you need to have the most confidence in a tool? When you are using it. The reason that “because it’s a charter arms,” is an answer is because it starts (when it’s new) at a lower price point. Why? Because it’s in the “Saturday night special” class of firearms. If they had a better record for reliability, owners that are reselling them could ask for more on the used market. Your single anecdote doesn’t change 50 years of data. What your are in essence saying is, “hey look, I got a low mileage pinto for incredibly cheap, now let’s see how long it lasts...”
    You used a strawman, ignored some hidden costs, and think that your anecdata is more compelling than looking at all the available data. I think that puts you on weak footing as far as arguments to support owning a $50 revolver. At least it does with me. But hey, I’ve never needed to actually shoot someone since I could buy a pistol... so maybe I don’t really need CCW insurance based on that ONE data point?

      Everett, the intent of this post was to get our followers thinking about how much stock they put into their firearm versus how much time they take to train with their firearm. Regardless of if you have an expensive firearm or a cheaper firearm, your training should be continuous. No two firearms are ever built the same so in order to trust your firearm, you should be practicing clearing drills, taking care of it, and learning every nook and cranny. We love having you in our family and we appreciate your continued support.
