Not only are they still made, but in many configurations as well. Mosey on over to Charters website and check 'em out. The Tiger Stripe camo version is very cool looking.

Some folks consider the 44Special as the ultimate CCW. Of course, opinions vary and with .38 +P ammo readily available and common place, I not sure the old opinions about .44sp are applicable. I sure don't want 200grains of anything coming my way (as if 158grains would be reassuring in any way). IIRC one of the things folks liked about the Bulldog was it had a bit less muzzle blast out of a short barrel.

I owned a Charter gun before. A blue Pathfinder in 22lr. A very very nice "kit Gun". Alas it was a victim of a divorce (as was my whole gun collection).
