So good to hear that a Company stands behind it's products like this. Well done Charter Arms.

I bought a used Undercover 38 a year ago. Went to shoot it and the barrel and cylinder were misaligned. I sent it to Charter Arms and it wasn't fixable since it was an older style pinned barrel. So they sent me a brand new undercover 38 to my local FFL. I can't say enough good stuff about their customer service. They're top notch!

It's good to see they repaired it and got it back to you Ina timely way. That's service that advertising in a magazine won't buy .

I'm really impressed with Charter Arms for getting that revolver back to you in 10 days. That's some excellent customer service. It's a nice firearm and something I would definitely consider.......... considering I'm going to a gun show tomorrow, lol.

Charter arms has excellent customer service! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸👴🏻

Charter Arms customer service , ROCKS. GO BULLDOG!😎

Glad the Bulldog is up and running. Any company can send out a gun that doesn't work. Charter Arms took care of the problem and got it back to you in a reasonable amount of time. If it continues to run well, I'd be happy with it.

Makes me happy Charter stands behind their products. I have been wanting to pick one up for a long time. I just might now. Great follow up, thanks for the update.

Great to hear CA sorted everything out for you 👍

So happy to hear that you followed my advice and gave Charter Arms a chance to make things right! They have Great Customer Service!! The Bulldog is a unique .44 Special Revolver being both light to carry and quite powerful!

Glad to hear that not only did Charter Arms fixed it, and provded a written explanation. Now you're a happy shootin' customer.🎩♠🏵🎯🏁💙💛🌻🇺🇸🍀

Back in the 70's I bought a Charter Arms Target Bulldog in .357 that I absolutely brutalized. I put more magnum rounds through it than I could even begin to count. Never had a single problem with it. I foolishly sold it but am willing to bet that it is still shooting somewhere today. 👍👍

Thanks for the update video , I was thinking about a charter Arms or EEA , I ended up with an SP101 by Ruger

Great news. There was something wrong and they fixed it at no cost to you. That's customer service. 👍👍

Charter came through on the repair and very fast turnaround. That moved them up my ladder of good companies.

Great job Charter Arms. The Bulldog, a man stopper for sure

Not a fan - in general - of Charter Arms, but I give them kudos for the great turn-around repair time. If I were to ever get a CA it would be a .44!

Mine is a charter 2000 version made in 2005. It had the same misfire problem when new. It was the crane. It was out of alignment spec and caused the cylinder to be canted in rotation making the firing pin slightly off center angle upon striking the primer. Since I live near the factory, I brought it down to them and Nick Ecker took it in personally and had it fixed while I waited. They fitted the new crane and test fired it 20-25 times and it ran perfectly. Nick handed the cased bulldog back to me and told me go shoot it a couple hundred times and if it happened again, he'd replace the gun for free. Almost 20 years later and a thousand rounds in, no problem. I carry it, I keep it by my nightstand loaded with 100% confidence. I last shot it a few weeks ago, only ten rounds, and it's still tight and reliable. The gun is made to be carried a lot and shot little. Don't shoot heavy loads through it like buffalo bore Keith swc . The Federal 200 grain LSWC hp was made specifically for the charter Arms Bulldog. Gun is within arms reach of me as I write this. It's a gun that carries like a .38 and hits like a .45

Really happy to hear Charter Arms stood by their product and not only fixed it properly but did so in a very speedy manner. It's a heck of a nice "little" snubbie.

I bought mine when they first re-introduced them on the market, the "Bulldog Pug" It's my dedicated car gun. I haven't got a ton of rounds thru it, but it has been flawless so far. Love the .44 Special round. If I can only have 5 rounds I'll take a .44 over a .38 every day of the week.

CA answers the phone right away. Very big difference from S&W.

Great video! Glad Charter fixed your Bulldog and had such a fast turn around. I need a .44 Charter in my life!

It’s great hearing good news for a change during these crazy times.

Great customer service! Sad to say, but because of the rush to produce new guns, quality control is suffering. Not just Charter Arms, but even Smith & Wesson as well (See hrfunk's custom M19 videos). I have a 1983 Bulldog that I bought with low expectations. I was VERY pleasantly surprised as it is an amazing shooter. It is one of my favorite carry guns. All my friends who have shot it have loved it. Just the sound of that plate being hit and how hard it moves is a real confidence booster.

Glad to see good customer service... Which is not always good in this industry.

I have had good communication with the people at charter arms,seems like a good company to me

I bought a Bully back in the 80s and carried it as a backup piece during my police career. Loaded with Glazer safety slugs. Fine shooter back then and reliable.

Hats off to Charter Arms!!! It's always nice to hear when a company turns a bad situation into a happy ending. Thanks for the video. Keep on shooting!!!

Hats off to Charter Arms for making it good on their repairs. Looks like the Bulldog is a keeper. Nice video Sir.

glad charter fixed your gun. love 44 special.

Kudos to Charters Repair Dept. for fixing it. With that jacket separation on the hollowpoint it makes me wonder what the 44 will do with a SCHP or Monolithic round. Good video as always.

Good to see quality customer service....

Love the wheel gun video’s. Thanks 👌🏻

In 1992 I purchased a charter arms off duty 38 special for $180 used in mint condition. Off duty back then had a Hammer. One of my favorite revolvers.. it was built sometime in the 1980s.. around 5 years ago I purchased a charter arms mag pug 357 with factory ported barrel and rubber grips.. what a fantastic gun! . Charter arms is only about 20 minutes from my house in Shelton Connecticut so if I ever have a problem I can drive there and drop it off! I have heard it said that if you call charter arms service department the owner will sometimes answer the phone himself! Excellent customer service! Back in the 1990s my buddy owned two charter arms blued 38 specials.. he wanted to have the hammers bobbed.. he took them directly over to charter arms.. when he went to pick them up the guy at the counter said .. we Bobbed the hammers for you and put new springs in..NO CHARGE !! . Now that's customer service!

Nice shootin ! Good on Charter Arms for fixing it , I’ve got the 4” target Bulldog myself and it is a nice little revolver even tho ammo is pricey as heck!

Bravo! If CA's could give their products a good inspection prior to shipping, they'd likely reap a rich harvest.

Glad you got that fixed, that looks like a NICE concealed carry piece. The late, great Mel Tappan wrote very positive things about this pistol and this caliber. Great video as always!

I still have one of the original, 1973 models - which is the second one I've owned. I bought my first one in 1974, while stationed at Camp Pendleton; I kept that one for about 10 years before I sold it (which I regret). I've had my current one for about 24 years - and I don't plan on selling it. I've long since lost the original box and paperwork from the first Bulldog, but what I specifically remember about it was that it claimed a 2" grouping from a factory benchrest! I never tested that theory, but I did discover that the 236gr. solid lead bullets at that time would go through 10, 1" pine boards in a test box without much deformation. I suspected those "lead" bullets were more of a type of tintype lead - very hard lead. My current one has only had two cylinders (10 rounds) fired through it in these 24 years I've owned it. Why? Because, as with the first one, I discovered that these 3" revolvers are actually really accurate. I could hit a 10" plate at 20 yards with my eyes closed, it was that good - so I have no need to practice burning up my pricey .44 Special rounds to know where my rounds will hit.

Happy to hear they honored the revolver with a good time frame. Thank you for the video, sir. Enjoy the Bulldog.

Glad to hear that Charter arms resolved the problem in an expedient manner. I had almost an identical issue with one of their revolvers and they fixed it quickly. I have had no issues since. Very pleased with their customer service. However, it sounds like a little better quality control at the factory would save everyone some aggravation. Enjoy your Bulldog!

It's good to see that Charter got it fixed.

So glad Charter made it right for you. I am not a Charter "fanboy" but I do like their revolvers. At the price I reckon we can expect a few "not quite right" guns but if they make it right then I respect them for that. If they fail to make it right then I will curse them for not doing so. I have three Bulldogs, 3" blue, 4" stainless and 6" stainless and a 4" 22 Path Finder. I like them all but the Path Finder 22 should be called out for its cheap ass plastic trigger guard. That is going too far on the cheap side. I would gladly pay a bit more for aluminum, as I suspect most of us would. Definitely not the best crafted revolvers on the market but for the price, well they are not too bad either. All of mine are suitably accurate and holding up well. I hope others have similar experience with theirs.

All in all, a pleasant service experience from the Charter Arms folks! Nice letter from them as well explaining what they did.

I am glad they fixed it for you. It looks like a good shooter now. Thanks for the video.

I figured as much. I commented last video that I've hear CA has good customer service overall and fixes whatever needs to be fixed. Glad you got it work!

I've got a bulldog just like it I acquired back in the summer. I was having intermittent light primer strikes in double action. Contacted Charter Arms and after some back and forth emails, they mailed me two different mainsprings to try. The lighter of the two springs gave less light strikes, but the heavier spring they sent fixed the problem. I find it shoots great and can't say enough about how helpful they were when speaking with them. Mainly I'm glad they just mailed me the parts rather than me having to send it back to the factory for repair.

Really cool gun, man. Glad you got it fixed. And yes the echo’s so good. 🙋‍♂️🇬🇧

Glad Charter Arms stand behind their products. I've wanted a .44 Bulldog for a long time and at first I was worried. However seeing that they fixed yours up gives me confidence if I ever come across one.

I bought a blued version of the .44 Bulldog in the late 80s... I shot the barrel shroud off during the first box at the range. Had it fixed and traded it out immediately towards another 1911.

Wow fast service with charter arms,,,,sweet 44spl

I had one of those in the early 90's with a 2" barrel I think, and it was having the same problem when you cycled the action it would jam up. Since I live in Connecticut (Oh Gawd!) I went right to the Charter Arms factory in Stratford Ct (today they are in Shelton Ct) and they came out of the back with a lab coat on and said wait here. Came back in 5 minutes with the gun functioning perfectly and they even cleaned it and gave me a poster from the movie "Manhunter" They are really cool people. Love that .44 because it packs a punch!

Glad they took good care of your piece! I have my DAO Bulldog on my hip as I type this. Nice little revolvers!👍🇺🇲

Good to see the company come through for you.

Glad to hear CA took care of you and did so promptly. The real test of any company is if they stand behind their products.

Great ! Good thing you fired it & found a issue before depending on it as a carry weapon.

I feel that the .44 bulldog is a fine concealed carry weapon. Like you said, its got a good punch, almost as good as the 1911.

Happy ending to a story I thought was going to end with unhappiness. Very nice and fast customer service from Charter Arms. That's always good to hear.

I had the exact problem you did and returned it. They sent it back it worked good for about twenty rounds then at least 2 times a cylinder it would misfire. So I sent it back and now it’s doing it again I’m glad you had a good experience but I will never buy one of there guns again.

I had a friend (dead these many years) who owned an early Bulldog. I think my first comment was “Ain’t a Smith, is it?” I think the only reason he bought it was that he was fascinated by the idea of owning a compact .44 Special, and that was the only thing available. The video states that the crane, trigger, and hammer were replaced, and that was “-pretty cool.” I think it would have been much cooler if that pistol had left the factory in operating condition. This does nothing more to impress me than my initial impression of it in the 1970’s.

Hey guys, Mix is making canyon echo again. Had to send my Bulldog Pug in for a broken firing pin. Nick tightened the action, and its one of my favorite snubbies.

Any man-made product can fail, and a gun can slip by on rare occasion. Charter Arms has a pretty good reputation for reliable handguns. I have been "re-looking" at the 44 Bulldog and glad to see that even though the first one was a dud, the factory fixed it quite well. Jes wondering what ammo was used? I was surprised at the performance (or lack of) on the gallon jug and the soda 2 liters...

CA knew they had better go all out for mixup98.

I'm so happy for you bro. Charter Arms way to go! Thumbs up my Friend ~John

Hey the Mixup, I'm delighted Charter fixed your Bulldog. For a so called "budget" gun company I've just always been impressed with them.

Good stuff. Beautiful area out there too. Glad they made it right again man. 🐍🇺🇸

10 day turnaround, thats awesome....

I like that echo too! 😀 I was thinking this right before you said it!😁 Great job Charter Arms! I liked the one I had and would enjoy having one again. Thanks for sharing brother! I enjoy your videos. God bless all here.

Glad to see that Charter Arms does stand behind their products.

Good deal dude. .44 special is under-appreciated, it has had to live in the shadow of the .44 Magnum. In reality, the power of the .44 special is all a person needs. -Dave

Kudo's to Charter Arms, I'm glad that worked out for you

This viewer/follower/subscriber is extremely pleased that Charter Arms did not waste any time returning your Bulldog with the problems you were having resolved.

Awesome!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸

Bought one used. Had cylinder timing issues. They fixed it for free (including shipping) and it works as it should now so I can't complain.

It’s always nice to hear good things about a long time company like charter arms. That’s a very cool looking gun. I’m glad everything turned out satisfactorily.

Glad to see you got it fixed. Fast too!

I have had mine for almost 20 years it has been a good one and still is, glad they fixed yours

Glad they fixed it for you. I want one myself!

Like the "breezy" southern Nevada opening since I was just wondering if you avoided the worst of the wind lately...LOL. Glad to see they took good care of you. Can now see where maybe a .44 SPL snubbie might be useful as you get more power that the .38 +P with shorter barrel for concealment and now overpowering like a .357 or .44 mag round for personal defense. Thanks mixup98.

Good job Mixup, I'm delighted they got you fixed up and running. I knew they would. I've even heard of them sending a totally new handgun to replace one that couldn't be safely fixed. I'd always give them a go. God bless, Rob

Glad to hear they took care of ya! Thanks for the share!!

Thumbs up to Charter Arms. Nice follow-up review. Thanks again for all your efforts. 👍 😎🙏

I had a Bulldog for a bit more than 10 years. I had to send it back 3 times, but in their defense, I shot pretty warm loads regularly. Also, they fixed it every time.

Awesome service by Charter Arms... glad they made it good. and thank you for posting a follow up.

Glad it worked out for you! Man, that truck has seen better days, hasn't it?

Glad to see you got everything worked out.

You handle that recoil like it's a .22!

Thanks for the follow up so we know what happened to it an glad they fixed it up for you . Hope to get out shooting soon

I watched your first video and I was so disappointed for I did not comment on the first video because I had the same exact pistol and I have 350 rounds through it with no malfunctions. I love 44 special it shoots softer than 44 mag but still has a lot of power. I love this gun so much I carry it in the winter time when I'm wearing heavy jackets.

Right off the bat that Action Bind/Failure to Carry Up (“DCU”). I was thinking one problem masking another. I am Ruger/S&W Repair Factory Trained/Qualified. I can now see that the Charters Crane is Fit (not Reamed) for clearance much like a S&W. I would have thought the Hand/Pawl/Lifter (or what ever Charter calls it) might be suspect. Simply because the bind is both SA/DA and not exclusive to one or the other.

Very glad Charter Arms fixed it properly. I too really like this revolver, and I'll probably get one in the future to keep in a drawer somewhere. But I would be lying if I said that their questionable reliability wasn't a concern of mine. Thanks for the video!

Great to see this follow up, along with positive results. Good on Charter Arms for their turn around time too. 🤙🏻

Thank you RAY your channel has become so influential, that major companies,listen to you, that they step up and do the right thing, They DO NOT WANT a second bad review from you. Keep it up.

I knew they would take care of you. Excellent customer service Great vid, as always 👌

Nothing wrong with the .44 Special or the Charter Arms guns. Kept one around for years for snakes and it just worked.

Charter Arms fixed my undercover 38 and did an awesome job. Great customer service

Awesome gun. After watching ur last video on it, it performs like it should. The original bulldog is my dream gun. I’d even trade my American arms single action 44 mag for one. Lol

It’s awesome when a company stands behind their products and fixes them when needed.

Thanks for giving charter arms a fair shake. I’m considering thanks for doing a update video.

Love that blue sky.

Glad ya got it fixed! I saw these Charter Arms revolvers at the gun show today, maybe I'll go back and pick one up!
