I can't tell you anything from personal experience about the Bulldog as I never owned one. I can tell you abouit the Taurus Tracker in a 4" as I was very pleased with mine. Shooting .44 Spl was my general practice and mine was comfortable to shoot, reliable, and had a good trigger. The occasional 240 grain .44 mg fired from my Tracker was comfortable and accurate. I can highly recommend the gun based on my experience. If .44 Special is enough for you I can also highly recommend the Interarms Rossi Model 720. I have owned three of these guns but am presently downsizing and sold off 2 of them. The last Model 720 will stay with me to the end.
So, I give a thumbs up for the Taurus Tracker and the Obsolete Rossi M720 , If I had to choose I would have to go with the Tracker as it will handle standard 240 grain .44 mag ammo without a problem. Nice to have if you hike in large bear country. ( I believe .44 Spl is fine for Black bear)

This Charter Arms 44spl Boomer at 17oz , has all but took over my pocket carry
I feel that is one of the most functional CC firearms I've ever seen. Ever since they rolled out with it, I've wanted to get my hands on one. That thing is a no frills, all business belly gun that packs a serious wallop. Nothing to catch or jam, 5 rounds of "get off of me" and loaded with these fellas here:

There's no need to worry about expansion when your spitting out a hard piece of lead at a good 7-800 fps from that Boomer at point blank range.

I like the look of these !!!!
Well I can afford a Smith or Ruger, but despite the rough edges of my CA, I just like it better than offerings by those companies. It's honest in what it promises, and it's light enough to carry all day.
I can't say I like it BETTER than my Smiths or Rugers, but like I said, it just works.
I'd be on that quicker than a chicken on a Junebug!Any Bulldog 44spl I have ever had (6ish) over the years .. including the one I have now, will handle ANY standard pressure 44spl loads ... any
But no +P 44spl full house loads, none...
If one thing Taurus seems has right... It's the Tracker line ... (Besides the G2's)
But no full house 44mag loads...
The Charter will be lighter (a lot) and smaller ...
Charter has the BEST customer service and a lifetime warranty
Taurus has the worst and 1-year warranty... U buy it... It's yours...
If you want a carry revolver, for normal 44 spl loads. And a great CS and a lifetime warranty get the Charter
If you want a larger heavier 44spl revolver, that shoots 44mag .. And questionable customer service and a one year warranty... Taurus is your pick...
I just noticed you made the right choice
I'm sorta waiting for Charter to stick a 4-inch barrel on the 41 Mag.
I've noticed that Underwood seems to be making their own version of those BB loads. I was looking up the ultra hot 44 magnum +P+ loads and found that Underwood is making the same thing. The cool part is that they're far cheaper than BB's often insane pricing and by everything I've read, Underwood seems to be good to go.
Taurus has the worse , and a 1 year warranty.... U buy it .. Its yours..
I miss spoke ... At one time ,last year?The Tracker’s have never had a 1 year warranty.
