Anyone shot one of these yet? Saw them at the gun show for about $400. The old Charter Arms company never had a great reputation, but the .44 Bulldog was generally regarded as their best effort.

Has a clever wedge mechanism in the ejector to avoid needing moon clips. I think it would have been smarter for them to make in 10mm so one could use .40S&W in it like you can with .38 Special in a .357 mag, but this is what is out there.

I really like the Pitbull.

It's in a highly popular caliber,doesn't need moonclips,and is an affordable a revolver as a person can find.

Looking forward to one in the near future (though I do agree that it would've been cool if they offered a model in 10mm)

I'm waiting on the 45ACP.

I wonder if they could have kept the same size frame though. S&W's 10mm 610 was an N Frame.

A Charter in 10mm is also known as a hand grenade. Don't get me wrong, I love Charters and carry one but I don't think I would want to be around one with a higher pressure round than .44 Spl.

Ayep!

I'm waiting for the 9mm.

I've heard it wont use the same frame as the .40

I'm wondering what frame it will use...

If I had a auto chambered in .40 S&W I'd have to have one of the CA .40 revolvers.

I'd like to find one of the new .44 special ones...all I see around my location is the .38/.357's, and the .40's.

I've got an older CA undercover .38 special in my back pocket at this moment. Nice little inexpensive revolvers.

The 610 has a quite a bit of space between chambers. That said I appreciate it's sturdy build due to the high pressure of the 10mm.

I bought a Bulldog in .44 spl. last fall, and it is quickly becoming my favorite gun. I plan to get a Pitbull as soon as I can lay my hands on one. That will compliment my SA40SC and my Kel Tec SU2000. :)

A Charter in 10mm is also known as a hand grenade.

What is your basis for this?

.40S&W is like 35000 PSI max, 10mm is 37500 max according to my reloading manuals. If less than 10% max pressure is the difference between gun and grenade where are all the +P+ 9mm KaBooms?
