All these little pimp-guns and girl-gats just leave me cold.:evil:

If you don't have a long-barrelled, half-lugged, national match, black-cup, competition super-slug-slinger..... You're just carrying a pocket-popper.:neener:

Stratford .44 *TARGET*, Baby!.... Whatever that means.:D

So, I'm sitting in a barber's chair in Monterey, California one fine day back about '82. I note that the fella is driving a blue early Scout II and comment on it having no top with weather moving in.

He tells me he'd rather it got wet from time to time than deal with the heavy hard-top too often. Me? I've seen that movie too.

Here now, I'm happy to tell him that I am quite sick of my bright blue soft top on my day-glow orange Scout and propose we enter into negotiations to keep the peninsula's notoriously moist climate outa his Scout.

He allows as he's rather short on discretionary funds at the moment but "... how's 'bout a trade of some sort?"

Moving through tools, motorcycle bits, stereo componentry and such, he asks if I might have any interest in guns?

Hell's bells! Now, he's singing my song!

We settled on this and it's been a common companion to me ever since. Even with *finer* firearms at my disposal - it's surprising how often I reach for 5 rounds of .44 in this handy, accurate, reliable and LIGHT package. A truly GREAT *woods gun*.

Been to Africa and South West Asia as well as all four corners of the U.S. as well as Canada. She's VERY well travelled.

Also, the pistol that taught me well learned lessons about loc-tite and guns.

Another thing worth note. If you haven't tried the Pachmayr Presentation/Compac grips - you owe it to yourself. I think are probably the most successful grip/revolver pairing that I've ever had.

Todd.

@Buckeye63, thanks, but I don't always shoot like that. I'd have to look up the details but that's a load of TrailBoss under DEWCs. Shoots mild. That, of course, is my best group at 10 yards. Most spread a bit more than that. But it does show what the Bulldog is capable of with the right load.
 
This thread has been quiet for several months. I have been swapping grips from the two 3" .38's I have (.44 and Bridgeport .38 are gone).

While handling these twins, I didn't like how the edges weren't flowing or particularly smooth. I used jewelers files, emory board and steel wool to knock the edges off. It feels much better.

I also noticed the gun ending in serial number 7 has a lighter, smoother trigger than the gun ending in serial number 8. It is noticeably lighter. I wonder why?
