Charter Arms .45 ACP Pitbull

The .45 is a bit bigger and heavier, and also holds five rounds. The Pitbull has a unique cylinder in that it does not require moon clips to hold the rounds at the proper depth in the cylinder. There is a spring loaded retainer, built into each round slot in the cylinder that holds the rounds in place. Pretty slick. When you push the extractor rod to eject the spent brass or unfired rounds, it releases it grip on the cartridge rim and they are easily extracted. I consider both of these excellent "truck guns" and with Buffalo Bore Hard Cast Wadcutters (@927fps) in the .44 Special it provides deep, straight line crushing action on bones, with no mushrooming. The hard cast .45ACP loads provide adequate protection against humans and black bears.

Expect about 24 inches of straight-line penetration in living mammalian tissue with this load

The two non-expanding loads are designed to shoot through large shoulder bones or the skull on a black bear.
