I recently inherited a 1980 model Charter Arms Target Bulldog (4 inch) in .44 special from my great grandfather. I'm excited as this is my first wheelgun. I'm fully aware that Charter Arms doesn't have the best track record, but have also heard the earlier models were a little bit stronger. I just sent it back to Charter Arms for their "check-up". The gun had been sitting in a "junk" drawer for the past 10 years. I plan on reloading, so I wanted to make sure there were no issues.
2 questions:
- As far as reloading, is 200gr preferred for the special, or should I try out 240gr?
-Holsters...I can't find a leather belt holster for this thing anywhere. Does this model share a similar shape/size to other 4" revolvers? Would love to carry some, but most holster makers don't make for Charter Arms.
Any help is much appreciated!
