Picked up a Charter Arms 44 Bulldog a couple of days ago, mostly because it was "inexpensive", at least on today's market. I already load 44 Special to use in my Model 29-10, so it seemed like a good thing to try.
I'll take it to the range this morning, and see how bad the recoil is. It's a little heavier than my 642 airweight, but not as heavy as my all steel, 327 Taurus. Should be "interesting."
