Charter Arms ???'s ...

[StrikeEagle]

I have an older Bulldog, bought during the 70's.

It's exactly what I want it to be... a small, light defense revolver in very substantial caliber. I don't shoot it much at all... perhaps ten rounds a year... some years.

I've fired reloads, but those were kept at factory levels.

It's not exactly great fun to fire more than a couple cylinders. Recoil is pronounced.

But I like it fine. Very decent package... and there is NOTHING else quite like it.

Thanks for the back-up there guys.
Guy has twelve posts, most of them on this thread, asked some questions, gets an answer he doesn't want to hear right off the bat and lashes out.
As the old saying goes, the truth will sometimes hurt but that truth may also set you free, or, something along those lines,,,,,,,
Anyway,
We don't carry the modern Charter Arms or Charco or Chararmco or whatever the heck they call themselves now.
Too many have come in for repairs over the years that the owner does not wish to deal with them so I have no personal experience with the most modern offerings other than handling a few at gun shows and other dealer shops.
Frankly I wasn't impressed anymore with the modern version verses the older guns.
Actually the much older versions don't have the goofy barrel shroud like the mid production Charcos and the modern versions.
These shrouds, at least used to have a nasty habit of breaking loose and falling of the actual barrel, I have seen this more than once.
The .44 Bulldogs that had the shroud were even worse than the Undercovers.
The "Unbreakable" Berillium firing pins break, play cowboy snapity snap snap with a Charter gun and you will become a believer.

Anyway the owner won't carry Charter guns.
Like it or not that is the way it is with him and it is his shop, I'm just the gunsmith.
If a customer really wants a Charter Arms the owner will direct the customer to a shop that does sell Charter Arms products, but he won't recommend them.
I will recommend a Charter revolver, most especially the .22LR and Magnum Pathfinders, with the reservations I have already outlined.
