I don't own a CA Bulldog, but I will if I find one for the right price! I've read up on them quite a bit, though.
It's important to note that even though they can't handle hot 44 SPL loads, they have significant recoil. It may not be magnum, but 44 SPL is a potent cartridge and shooting it from a 22 oz gun is no joke. You can google it or look for the threads of folks talking about the recoil from their 325 Night Guards, which is a similar power cartridge in a slightly heavier gun.
