I owned a pair of them from the 80's, one each blued and stainless.
Neither was satisfactory.
When I was down to only one of them I returned it to the factory at least a couple of times asking that they correct a problem where the cylinder would frequently bind and seize up during either live-fire or dry-fire. The last time it was returned from the factory with a letter stating it had been (yet again) corrected, I picked it up out of the box and started dry-firing it. I didn't make it all the way around the 5-shot cylinder before it locked up tight as a drum.
I'd used a local gun shop to handle mailing & receiving for me ... and the Bulldog remained with them when I walked out the door. They offered me a reasonable deal in trade for something else and said they had a bored gunsmith who didn't mind a challenge. Fine with me.
Personally, I have no interest in trying a 3rd Bulldog ... and especially not if the design is the same.
