This is a good thread, and I'm glad to see it sort of resurrected.

I've been giving some serious thought to returning to revolvers for my concealed carry gun(s), and the new Charter Arms guns in .44 Special are up at the top of my short list now. I've loved the .44 Special ever since I started shooting.

I've narrowed it down to two of the Charter Arms offerings. One is the Boomer 44 in stainless. I prefer the steel frame over the black nitride Boomer with the alloy frame. No hammer and not even a front sight to snag on anything...and the 2-inch barrel is ported.



The other I'm looking at is the Bulldog in stainless. Hammerless, too, but with a 2.5-inch barrel and a front sight. It's in stock at an LGS, but I'd have to order the Boomer.



Either one, I think I'd have to ditch the rubber grips...I believe Charter offers wooden grips for these guns...I might be wrong.

I have plenty of .44 Special ammo on hand.

Only other one that might interest me is their Pitbull in .45acp...no moon clips needed! Might be interesting.
