Yes, they are a great value. This time of year (fall-winter), my EDC revolver is a 3" classic Charter .44 Bulldog. I also keep a stainless Charter Bulldog with Crimson Trace Laser grips on my night stand.
I really like the little buggers. They are light weight and a delight to carry. I use a Tucker & Byrd OWB pancake to carry mine. If you use defense ammunition recommended for the little revolver, they will hold up just fine. Hornady 165 grain soft tips are what Charter told me. I have mine loaded with Buffalo Bore Manstopper 200 grain hard cast full wadcutters, a load that they made specifically for the Charter Bulldog. These have awesome penetration. Plus, You can shoot all the cowboy practice loads you want in these. I replaced the wood grips on my 3" classic revolver with oversize Pachmayr Gripper grips for added comfort when shooting. Makes a day at the range pleasurable.
