Weird. Never heard of that combo. I like it.

40 S&W works well out of a short barrel ...
180gr HST

That's news to me too. Looks like a great gun.

Love my .45 Pitbull. I would be totally down for a .40. I traded off my last semi auto .40 a few years ago, but I still have 200-300 rounds knocking around.

Wonderful gun with a very novel yet reliable way to shoot rimless cartridges without moon clips. If pressed to decide between my 1911 and my Pitbull, I would most likely keep the Pitbull. The .40 has interested me as a nice trail gun for larger critters for awhile. Im more heavily invested in .45 though.

Still, I would put the .40 Pitbull up there as a gun i would snap up in a moment of weakness.

I’d like a range report when you get a chance to run her. I’m a 40 S&W fan as well.

Nice. There's plenty of 40 cal ammo in my area, the guns are pretty scarce though. But hell, they are scarce just about everywhere.

I will have one of those after I find one at a low enough price.

I did some trading with the private owner on the
Charter Arms 40 S&W ... Its hard to find anything in the stores

I've been seriously considering buying one soon. I haven't seen one here locally, but also a huge fan of the .40cal with plenty of ammo to cycle thorough it. Prolly gonna have to make a road trip to pick one up...I just don't mail order guns and deal with all the fees and possible problems.
Hope you have fun with it, and a range report would be nice to hear.

This is second one I have owned ... the other I bought when they first came out .. I had it for 5 or so years .. ran quite a few rounds through it .. I traded .. I think for a Marlin 336 in 30-30 ..
I have shot this one .. mostly to check function ..10 rounds of 180gr FMJ .. recoil was there .. point of aim was spot on

Years ago used ones were going for around 300 on gunbroker. Haven't bothered looking at them lately, I'd rather have the .45 Pitbull.

Interesting revolver. It seems they have been around for a few years.
Here’s a link to an article about them.

You caN find them $400 - 440 before shipping
I have a Pitbull in 45 ACP also
The 40 is built on the Bulldog Frame the 45 ACP is built on the XL frame.. which is close to a K frame , but more compact .. and sports a cylinder which diameter is slightly larger than a L frame
Im a fan of Charter , I own 8

Im thinking that Charter is going to build a 6 shot
40 S&W on the XL frame

I traded a used Glock 23 upper for mine .. I had a extra ...
