I like the idea of the Charter Arms bulldog. I bought one a few years ago, and its been very handy for pocket carry or holster carry. The report from a short barreled 357 is not very pleasant w/o ear protection. The 44 special not as bad to me.
My only complaint was the Bulldog had some sharp edges,(sight, barrel rib and lug,etc) But was easily taken care of with a whetstone.
