MY grandson has a Charter Arms Bulldog in .44 Special that he bought from my ex-wife. I could probably talk him into loaning it to me for the duration, but he lives 900 miles or so away. I was wondering what else was available as a reasonable alternative--that can be concealed easily and which packs a bit more wallop than a .38 Special. Thanks for any ideas you might offer.

The Governor is bulky but surprisingly light for its size. There are a couple of good holsters available. Plenty of low-kicking 45 Colt rounds combined with .410 rounds for snakes or you can use it with cheaper 45 ACP and moon clips for a speedload without having to buy speedloaders. They're about $200 higher than when I paid full retail for the second one I saw, a few years back, but such is the way of the world right now. Big-bore...which you evidently favor.
