Concealed Carry Philosophy, Part V

Sorry I have been a bit tardy lately I hope to get back in a groove soon. With my trip recently taking my time I got off track on  my little series on concealed carry philosophy. 


I want to mention a couple carry guns which don't cost a lot but are decent quality.  The one at right is a newer Charter Arms Bulldog in 44 special. This is one I like to carry some, the 44 special is a little costly to shoot a bunch but I reload for it which makes it as cheap as anything else and even if you buy the ammo you can buy reloads more reasonable than new factory loads. Recoil is a little harsh but not too bad, still a blast to shoot.

 At left is an older Charter Arms 38 special, another fine carry gun which can be found without breaking the piggy bank. In my opinion most Charter Arms are fair quality guns, I do have one which was made in the 90's I think which is marked 'Charco' and they don't seem to be as good a fit and finish however they still go bang when the trigger is pulled but if I was looking I would try and find one not marked 'Charco' (just my opinion)  The very early ones and the newer ones made since around 2000 seem the better quality.

Bottom line is you don't have to spend big bucks to have a decent CC weapon in fact the little Charter Arms 38's can be found for under $250 if you keep your eyes open and in the last week I saw a used 44 Bulldog for $299 so they are out there.
