Since all this talk lately on CA Bulldogs I found a new manufacture Bulldog Pug in SS DA/SA with the hard rubber factory grips.The price was too good to pass up.
The gun has a nice even frosted/satin finish on the stainless.I like the wide deep rear trench sight and the fat ramped front sight(no serrations,smooth).The action was a bit stiff and not smooth at first.After cleaning and oiling and several hundred dry firings the action settled in and smoothed out.
Very nice crisp SA and the DA was quite usable,not as good as a nice S&W,but pretty good.The trigger is smooth and no serrations(I prefer this).The gun overall was void of any major sharp edges.The alloy trigger guard/grip frame was the only part that wasn't cosmetically "perfect".You could see the casting line down the center of it.CA polished most of it out,but its still there.No biggy,its a working carry gun,not a Holland&Holland.
I liked the feel in my hand and liked the light weight of this big bore revo.I have shot them before and did not find the recoil objectionable.keep the 44 a special and don't try to turn it into magnum.
I have not taken it out to live fire but if this one is as accurate the last few CA Bulldogs I shot,I will be a happy camper.
