S&W 696 and Charter Bulldog
Have both a S&W 696 3" and Charter Arms Bulldog 3", both 5-shot .44 Specials. I wouldn't part with 'em.
The Bulldog is a compact pocket pistol; I use 429215 GC with 5.5 gr. 5066 (obsolete I know, but I still have a couple of cans; 700-X or 231 would substitute). This will hold the black on a 50-foot pistol target in this gun. Rifling is shallow, hence the GC. Some plain-base bullets will throw the occasional sideways hole.
The 696 is a compact belt pistol; I use any .44 Special bullet & load - prefer the 429421 with 7.5 gr. Unique. This will better than hold the black on a 50-yard pistol target.

I bought one about a year ago as my ccw its a great little gun , accurate easy to hide & devours all types of factory ammo, these new guns from charter arms since the company re-orginized several years ago are top of the line handguns that i have no problems depending on it for self defence etc.:smile:
