Known for its rugged reliability and stopping power, Charter's Bulldog is a versatile revolver for personal or home protection. With a barrel length of 2.5 inches, this .44 Special Bulldog is one of the larger revolvers to qualify for concealed carry. This safe, reliable revolver is powerful enough for serious home protection, but has the size and functionality for effective concealed carry. Blacknitride is a new, proprietary process that adds hardness to the finish of the revolver. It also reduces friction and wear. With a scratch-resistant surface and extended life in the rifling and chambers, Blacknitride keeps your Charter handgun looking - and working - like new.
