Anybody familiar with these ?

I've lost count...is this Charter Arm's second, third, or fourth reincarnation?

The revolvers haven't changed...same design, and same faults. Quality control...a good one seems to work as well as any, but too many bad ones got though. Bad ones would go ut of time quickly, rattle, break parts (esp. firimg pins, hammer sear notches). From waht i've heard, the new ones are about like the old ones....all depends on how hung-over the crew was that day.

Have an old Pathfinder that's I've been shooting for 26 years....that one turned out to be one of the good ones..

I carried a Charter Arms Bulldog (in .44 Special) for several years. It always worked for me. It was an older one from the original company (first generation?) with a 3" barrel.

Mydad still carries the original one he bought some time back in the 70's. His is blued and has a hammer. He's retired almost 12 years now and it still shoots great!!!!
