Charter 41 Magnum revolver

That guns fails the Wuffo Test.

Yeah, it does.

Just spent 2 minutes figuring out Wuffo and 15 watching skydiving clips. LOL.

A whole lot of re-gripping going on. Looks like fun!

Hard pass.

I don't really get the desire, unless the goal is accelerating the onset of arthritis.

You don't want wrist x-rays like John Taffin?

I'm actually considering selling my Redhawk 44mag because the only thing it does that my 629 doesn't do is handle the hot and heavy rounds (think 300gr+ at 1200fps+). I simply do not have a desire to shoot that stuff anymore and much prefer my 38s, 32s, and 22s. I do have 100-200 rounds of buffalo stompers left loaded, so I suppose I'll shoot those up first to make sure I'm ok with the decision before I take action.

So you're saying you'll still have the Redhawk five years from now? [emoji16]

lol! At my current consumption rate, at least.

When I loaded them, that was 2-3 range trips with that gun.

This thread (and others) has me thinking about the .45 LC version of this gun.

Lots of cowboy ammo available as well as some more modern defensive loads.

If they don't send a call tag by the year's end, I am going to spend my own money to send this thing back. There's no way I'd buy it; the company continues to design revolvers that they apparently don't mean for people to actually shoot much.

If you're going to do like the average American gun buyer and shoot a box of ammunition through it when you buy it and then throw it on the pile in the back of the safe, it's probably more than suited for the task.

So if I'm reading that right, the gun is broke, you've contacted them, and they aren't getting back to you with a plan to return it?

That falls into the "not missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity" category...

Or, it was sent to her for a review someone is not going to like...

No, it's a review gun.

What's wrong with it is that it's a Charter Arms revolver. It's had a few hundred rounds through it at this point, and while the trigger has smoothed considerably from the original dumpster fire, the gun is noticeably looser, too. (A very small amount, but having been down this road before, I know where it goes.)

Granted, this is probably already more shooting than 95% of any .45 Colt Bulldog XLs will ever see. Especially because people who buy $300 revolvers tend not to buy a lot of $40 boxes of ammo.

Now I'm tracking. From their perspective, can you blame them for not wanting to spend good money shipping a revolver that probably has had over 50% of its service life used up?

Longer ago than I'd care to admit, I met a man in The Piggly Wiggly parking lot, and traded him an AMT Hardballer for a Charter Arms Bulldog Pug. The best thing I can say about the Pug is, unlike the AMT, it could be depended on to go bang five times in a row. The Pug was one of the two firearms I've owned in my life that I shot to the point of unserviceability, and it didn't take all that many rounds.

Both Charter and Taurus make guns, like small framed .44 Specials and .45 Colts that I wish Smith or Ruger would make, but there's probably a reason Smith or Ruger doesn't make them...
