I have a Bulldog and also a Taurus 445UL and have to say I prefer the Taurus. It has a smoother action and is more comfortable for me to shoot. I don't know the specifics but they are about the same size.
I'd like to find a set of Herrets Shooting Aces to fit the Charter hoping to improve its feel but no luck.
Don't turn your nose up on the Taurus 445UL. Mine's a nice carry gun.

I have the Boomer in black nitride. I replaced the black rubber grips, which are excellent for managing recoil, but are IMO too large for CCW. With the Barami style smooth grips and a BK grip adapter, I can easily carry the gun in my waistband or in a holster. With the nitride finish, I don't have to worry about moisture (sweat) ruining the finish.
I've shot well over 100 rounds and close to 1000 dry fires and the action has smoothed out considerably. When I first got the gun, the action was rough enough that I could stage the trigger prior to let off. Now, it's too smooth to stage, a firm trigger pull results in the hammer dropping with no creep.
I'm carrying the Federal 200 grain LSWCHP.

Now you've all gone and done it !!!
I've wanted a Bulldog for a few years. So after reading this thread I purchased a new one off Gun Broker; only an hour ago
Thanx a lot

A small .44 has always interested me as a possible carry gun. I've looked at the Charter Arms and the one Ruger is offering right now and having a tough time deciding which is best.
Sure wish S&W would offer one.

I did not know ruger had a 44 offering as small and light as the charter. What model?

The Ruger is the GP100 with a 3 inch barrel. Much larger/heavier than the Charter.

You're right about the weight, I was just now looking at the specs on my favorite online gun store.
A 36 ounce 5 shot. Well, That takes the Ruger out of the equation. I don't know why they made that thing so darn heavy.
I noticed that Charter offers snubbies in .45acp also, But they don't use moon clips and the reviews on that model were pretty bleak.
