My only experience with Charter was with a 38 snub in the early 90's and it was less than spectacular. Buds has the stainless Bulldog (5 shot 44 special) for under $400 and I'm considering buying one for a woods toy. I'm also considering a Ruger GP100 or a Smith 69, but those two are literally twice the price for what would be a gun that is carried and shot only occasionally.
Any experience with them?
