Bulldogs are good value. Finish is just so-so. At least with my "Fit for Duty" model. Recoil is harsh, even with moderate (Level 2) loads. I purchased it to carry while bow hunting, and it suits it's intended purpose. Twenty five rounds, per session, is enough for me. My Ruger LCR 357 is pleasant to shoot, compared to the Bulldog.
