I’ve seen and handled a few CA Bulldogs over the years. While not as refined as a Colt of S&W, I never heard any of their real world owners complaining. Size of the .44 Special cartridge relative to the size of the revolver gave the perception of a very small, potent package. The .44 Special is one of those inherently accurate rounds from days gone by. So if you feel strangely drawn to the works of Elmer Keith and Skeeter Skelton, it’s okay to give in. Have a great Thanks Giving.
I like the .44 Special. I bought a 3 inch Bulldog in the 70’s, swapped it off, then bought a 2-1/2 inch Bulldog in the 80’s. That vanished in a divorce in 2008. I miss ‘em. Need to get another.
An Air Force buddy of mine used a CA .44 spc as an off duty gun when he worked for the San Bernardino SO. He liked that big slow-moving bullet for being able to stop a fight quickly.
Greg, another great video! Back in the 70s, upon turning 21, I bought a then-new original .44 Bulldog. A beast to shoot with old 246 grain factory loads. I have carried the Winchester brown-box .44 Cowboy Action load my 4" M29 for years. I de-magnumized the 29 with a smaller standard hammer, smoothface combat trigger and replaced the too-large target panels with the M28 magna's & a Tyler "T". Petfect!
Hi Al - I tend believe the push for magnum rounds put .44 special into the background, when .44 special is probably the best of the two for personal self-defense.
That's a really nice wheelie Greg.44 Special is nothing to sneeze at.I hope to start reloading after the first of the year & 44 mag & spl are 2 calibers I plan on loading after I get the basics down pat,,plan on starting out with 38 spl and go from there.
Great infomation and shooting as usual Greg. Looks like its heading towards winter over your way. Hunting Season 😊. Looking forward to seeing your evaluation of it as a bush gun.
I'm not much of a hunter Les. I'm starting late in life. But, I'm learning about white tail deer, and I enjoy the heck out of being in the outdoors. I am also learning a lot about tracking and reading sign. Right now, I'm making use of what I have, so I'm using a Rossi, 20 inch .357. Not necessarily ideal, but easy to maneuver in brush or in cramped space. The sidearm is for the possibility of coyotes or feral hogs, which are considered a major problem all over the southeastern United States.
@LionquestFitness Greg, that's great to hear😃. I use to do a lot of hunting before I got married, ( I too am a grandfather 👴).I'm hoping to reacquaint my self with it. One of my best mates from Uni.moved to Darwin and sends me photos of what he hunts on the Aboriginal lands. Water buffalo kangaroo and the fish... not to mention crocodiles (which.are protected.. he doesn't hunt them.. just keep away from them) I'm hoping to go up ther in the next 12 months..depending on the economy 🙏 From what I've seen of your videos the 357 is plenty powerful for your requirements. It's not the weapon, it's the person. 👍 Most guides up there carry 44 or 357 hand guns (Ruger mainly, I'm told.) for snakes, the occasional crock or other nasties. (I'm still practising with my water pistol 😃) Happy Thanks Giving.
@tylermorrison7051 Hi Mate. 👋 I totally agree. First rules of the Grambo Academy of Refined Gentlemen. Now your tools their and your capabilities and practice.👍,. Looks like the dress code is being tested 😀, bandanas, 🤠😎 and 👞. Have a great Thanks Giving 😊
To you the same GB! BTW, I recently started using the shorter version of the Power Tee's you used to make once again. As age and arthritis creep up on me, I'm always looking for ways to work out my body without tearing it down.
@ great keep me posted on your progress and ideas. Getting older here also, 74 is just months away. I also am trying new things, blending them with the older things.
It's weird that the Forty-Four Special wasn't more popular. It's basically the Forty-Five of wheelguns. Today, it's just too expensive to get into unless you reload. Even Thirty-Two cartridges are cheaper.
I'd appreciate it if everyone would watch my timed fair caliber battle 6 calibers in my 2024 5 CCW CARRY rotation see how .38+ & .357 did time wise vs 9 40 45 vs 3 Rapscallions SUB and most my Revolver content I put in my Paul Harrell Tribute Playlist
Good information and illustration of potential use of the Bulldog .44 Special. Also, information on ammo quite handy. Thanks Greg. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Oh my God! You're playing with Hulk's bulldog😂. Good morning from Brazil, my friend.My 85s was even embarrassed. 😂. This weapon in your hands will certainly be a spectacle for defense. Thank you for the video, an excellent week to you and your family. God bless the Americas 🇧🇷🤝🇺🇲🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for the review. I have always liked the .44 special after reading Skeeter Skeltons articles. If you ever come upon one, a review of the bulldog in 45 Colt which they make, would be interesting. Have a Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Thank you very much, this is very interesting. It seems that this revolver is of good quality and that it works well. Bye the way it may be especially interesting in places where "expanding" bullets are forbidden
although I gave my trusted rossi model 720 44 special special to my daughter and reload her ammunition for her and her husband and I do.have the Taurus tracker 44mag I still would like another 44special. the 44special in most factory rounds not loaded to full potential due to older revolvers out there . In reality your character arms with a 255gr hard cast wide flat face bullet 900 to 925 fps would be a great self defense and woods load in that revolver . papa wishing you well 😊
I found that the Lyman #429215 cast bullet less gas check pushed by 7.1 grains of Unique shoots VERY well in my Taurus 4" model 441. I won my class at my club defense revolver competitions more than a few times.
@@paulberkuta4965 Paul, that 215 grainer & Unique combo sounds like a very reasonable load for something in the Charter or Taurus frames. I use soft lead 240s with 7.5 grains in my heavier S&W. Love it.
@@steveh4962 That's close to the "Skeeter Skelton" load - his load for the .44 special was Lyman #429421 cast bullet with 7.5 grains of Unique which is a stout load
@paulberkuta4965 Paul, it is stout enough for most things that need doing here in Florida. I carry 5 of these preceded in my 4" Smth with the first round being a CCI snake shot. My 30 acres here is laden with things that bite.
Good shootin Greg. I like the idea of large caliber "small' revolvers and the Charter Arms Bulldog on paper. I looked at their website and the new "Black Nitride" model is tempting. However I'll be sticking with my S&W J and K frames and the .38/.357 platforms. .44's get the job done though eh? To those in this talk remember a little maintenance and practice, especially acquisition and deployment goes a long way regardless of caliber.
Maintenance and Practice - Truths hard won from experience. Target acquisition seems to be a foreign concept in handgun defense in the "shoot fast and shoot a lot" trainer's world view.
A happy and blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours, Greg. Great video, as always. I'm having a rough time deciding whether to carry my Undercover, or my Police Undercover to church this morning. 😊 A buddy of mine (an ex-cop) has an old C.A. Bulldog which he inherited from his dad. He loves it.
I believe the .44 special is a vast improvement over the .357/.38 cartridges. That cowboy action load is actually a good choice for personal defense and hiking in critter country. With the first round being a CCI .44 shot cartridge, this would be an ideal woodsloafing carry piece, IMHO.
@@LionquestFitness Had one back in the '70s I carried as backup to my department issued Mod 10 S&W in.38Spl and off duty as well. While factory ammo at the time was pretty much limited to 246grn LRN I found it light to carry, very accurate out to 50 yards and surprisingly strong (I got that from some stupid hot 250 /255grn LSWC w/gas check handloads recommended by "Uncle Elmer" that made even the Ruger Super Blackhawk I owned at the same time buck and roar!). The fireball out of the muzzles of both revolvers was amazing!!!! I will never share that loading with anybody, but the Unique powder of the era provided the fuel. I have zero plans to subject my new Bulldog to that loading but I may tinker with some handloads that will make for some serious personal defense ammo if I can't find a commercially available loading that impresses me.
Unfortunately it is gamble. I don't know how the stats go, but looking at online comments you see people who like and love their Charter Arms revolvers, some who have to send them back and then like them after being tuned and repaired, and a rarer few who send them back more than once and would never buy another one. The problem is that they still do a lot of hand fitting to the guns. It's a big jump in investment capital, but the company really needs to look at transitioning to robotic manufacturing.
@LionquestFitness "China Grove, whoa-oooooh, China Grove." And though it's a part of the first in flight state doesn't seem to roll off the tongue like the lonestar state. Haha Sorry. Couldn't resist the Dobbie Brothers humor.
Back in the early 80's a buddy of mine had his C.A. Bulldog almost literally break in half..... instead of a removable sideplate like S&W's the C.A. revolvers used pins to hold the trigger mechanism in & when one of those broke without him noticing it, the next shot snapped the alloy trigger guard...after that, it was completely inoperable & I never trusted that brand again.. especially since quality used S&W's are affordable...
Nice video. I like the 44 special cartridge but for me a revolver that I have to check the screws on before I use it is not something I'm really interested in. I've owned a couple of Charter Arms Bulldogs in 44 special and they felt great in the hand and weren't bad shooters. I got rid of both of them because the more I shot them the worse the timing on the cylinder got. I've been blessed to find a nice used S&W 49 and a Ruger SP101(357 magnum) revolvers that shoot well and are built better than the Charter Arms I owned in the past. It seems to me that more people are getting back to revolvers and that's a good thing. I've been shooting revolvers since the late 1970's and hope always own at least one...:) Keep up the good videos. A fellow lefty, Frank in North Texas.
Thanks Frank! I also agree with you on that a screw for a cylinder stop is something of a design flaw, considering how that seems to be a common problem with them backing out.
With that grip it handles well. I'm not going to be running hundreds of hot rounds through it though. In fact, I'd recommend running a lighter bullet as opposed to 240 grain bullets. Shooting those cowboy loads one handed really rocked my hand. I hesitated to do follow up shots.
Good shootin’ Greg. Now that the cooler weather is here I’ll be carrying a light J Frame & the LCP will go into the safe until it warms up again. Stay safe . . .
Certainly a good choice. Easy on the back and hip, which is something that doesn't get discussed much, easy to conceal, and easy to draw from concealment as a straight forward point and shoot. Thanks for your comment and joy the rest of your week!
Nice looking gun, I’m thinking of a Charter Arms revolver in 9mm, I’d like to try one before making up my mind. Have you ever tried one? How about a review? 🤠
I haven't shot one yet. I was at the range one day and a couple had a Lavender Lady they let me shoot. Like all Charter revolvers, it's operation and feel is different, but it was very accurate at 10 yards. Later they had trouble reloading it, and they took it to me where I explained the wife had tried to load 9mm in a .38 revolver. 🙄
That one I was using was a Murph's holster out of China Grove NC. It was originally made for a 2.5 inch S&W Model 66, but fit the Bulldog much better. Probably something from Murph's or Azula would do well. The thing about Azula, their holster seem to be too loose for the gun until you strap in on, and then they ride tight and close to the body.
You might want to try the Hornady 165 grain for defense as it has reliable expansion, the Federal 200 grain LHP will work also and for the woods see if you can get 200 grain semi wadcutter bullets which you would have to reload yourself for more penetration.
I see you liked your own comment. First, this is a gun I'm working with. That assumes different thresholds of competency. Second, like a lot of internet wannabe gunfighters you assume a self defense situation is all about shooting fast and shooting a lot, never minding your situation or your accuracy.

Hi Marc - I'm debating whether or not to get one of the classic Bulldogs, but the jury is still out.
It's weird that the Forty-Four Special wasn't more popular. It's basically the Forty-Five of wheelguns. Today, it's just too expensive to get into unless you reload. Even Thirty-Two cartridges are cheaper.

I'm having a rough time deciding whether to carry my Undercover, or my Police Undercover to church this morning. 😊
A buddy of mine (an ex-cop) has an old C.A. Bulldog which he inherited from his dad. He loves it.
Hi Matthew! Either or would be a good choice. The Undercover and the various colored ladies are five shots. Is the Police Undercover six?
Is .44 special as powerful as .44 magnum?
How does .44 special compare to .357 magnum?
Significantly weaker than both.
I believe the .44 special is a vast improvement over the .357/.38 cartridges. That cowboy action load is actually a good choice for personal defense and hiking in critter country. With the first round being a CCI .44 shot cartridge, this would be an ideal woodsloafing carry piece, IMHO.
@@steveh4962 it isnt even close to 357
Hey, that's what makes for a great horse race! Bigger is better. But then YMMV.
The 44 Special is very similar to the 45 ACP ballistically.
I'm hoping that I will be able to pick up a 3" Bulldog "Classic" this coming week. It's one of three Christmas gifts that I'm giving myself this year.
