I've never had an especially high opinion of Charter Arms, but we took in a mint stainless .44 Bulldog on consignment that keeps calling my name. It is a "real" Stratford Charter, not a Charter 2000 or Charco gun. I've been wanting a Smith 396 Night Guard, but they have gotten ridiculous. The Charter would fill the bill as an occasionally carried lightweight big bore carry piece. The owner wants too much for it, $499,but it is as new and likely hasn't had a box of ammo fired thru it. I'm going to shoot a cylinder thru it on the range to see if it agrees with me. Anybody have one? Love it? Hate it? Problems? I doubt I'd shoot it much anyway. Thanx
