The same ammo for both made sense when travel across wide open spaces was measured in weeks on horseback instead of hours in an jet plane. For those with only two guns, it sure made sense to need only one shared caliber.

Some of us with lots of firearms in our safe may have found ourselves shying away from certain guns because “I really just don’t want to get involved in another caliber.” I remember when the. While all were very intriguing, the idea of buying yet another handgun cartridge caused me consternation. The Charter Arms Pitbull double action revolver was initially introduced in 2012. 40 S&W cartridge, which was an interesting choice. Charter Arms’ intention was obviously for this revolver to be a police officer’s backup gun. 40 was still a popular police pistol cartridge back eight years ago. 45 ACP versions of the Pitbull have subsequently been released. The 9mm version was of interest to me since relatively inexpensive 9mm ammo is common these days. Nine millimeter is often found on retail mass-market store’s shelves for under $10 per box of 50 rounds. That’s pretty cheap for factory centerfire ammo. It goes without saying that RevolverGuys like revolvers and I like ‘em all. Single actions, double actions, Colt, Ruger, S&W, big Magnums, little snub noses. I’d like to own a Korth or a Manurhin if they weren’t so darn expensive. I do own a Freedom Arms single action, but I had to sell a couple other guns to be able to afford it. I also like classic revolvers for their “old world” quality and value. I like certain lesser sought after brands too, when they offer features the big names don’t. Revolver Guys almost can’t help but become a little bit snobbish about the quality guns we’re used to. We may forget that some people can only afford just a few guns or maybe even just one. We are also used to the feel of S&W or Ruger or Colt double action triggers. In my opinion, the S&W double action feels the best in my hands when I’m firing double action with an untouched factory trigger. Charter Arms Pitbull 9mmĬharter Arms has been around since 1964 and their. 44 Special Bulldog have been used as police backup and off-duty guns for more than 50 years. I worked with a cop who carried one as a backup his entire career and he still carries it now that he’s retired. The Bulldog’s recoil impulse is massive with hot. 40 caliber Charter Arms Pitbull back in 2012 when it first came out.Ĥ4 Special ammo, but then most snub nose revolvers provide a wallop to your palm. It was uncomfortable to shoot, to say the least. 40 S&W kicks like the proverbial mule when fired in that little five-shooter.
