Charter Arms Bulldog 44 Special 2.50" 5-Rd DA/SA Revolver - Matte Stainless/Crimson Trace Laser

The Charter Arms Bulldog is a no-nonsense double-action / single-action revolver chambered in .44 Special, purpose-built for personal and home protection without sacrificing everyday shootability. Built on Charter's large frame, this Bulldog delivers real stopping power in a compact, concealable package equally at home on the nightstand or in the waistband.

This configuration (model 74424) wears a matte stainless steel finish across the frame, cylinder, and barrel, giving it a clean, low-reflective look with strong corrosion resistance. The 2.5" barrel keeps overall length to just 7.32", and the 5-shot cylinder delivers the firepower that has made the Bulldog a long-time favorite among revolver defenders. At 21 oz, it carries light enough for concealed carry yet has the heft to manage full-house .44 Special loads.

Up top sits a fixed front sight for fast, intuitive aiming, paired with an exposed hammer that lets you thumb-cock the gun into a crisp single-action press when the situation calls for a precise shot. The grips are upgraded to a black Crimson Trace laser grip, putting a bright aiming point right where your hand naturally indexes for instinctive point-and-shoot performance under stress.

Whether you're looking for a rugged home-defense revolver, a capable belt-side companion, or a confident concealed-carry handgun with real authority behind the trigger, the Charter Arms Bulldog checks every box, backed by a reputation for value and reliability that has kept the Bulldog in continuous production for decades.
