My New Shooter

After my buddy bought the custom SKS I put together, I reviewed my list of firearms I wanted to buy. After much shopping around and price comparisons I end up ordering a Charter Arms Bulldog 44. This matte finished stainless steel gun sports a 2.5 inch barrel and a pair of checkered rubber grips and is chambered in .44 Special. This small big bore has a 5 shot cylinder and a bobbed hammer. Total weight of this belly gun weighs in at a lightweight 20 ounces. It came packaged in an attractive durable plastic case. I ended up getting it through my local pawn and gun shop for 390 dollars plus the governments bite. I have yet to shoot this beauty and the only place in town to get the ammo is where I bought it and their only box, a box of cowboy loads, is just a tad over 42 dollars! I did some web shopping and will order a box or two this weekend. I am also in the market for a holster or two. I'm thinking a pocket holster and one that goes on the belt too. I have started smoothing the action up by dousing the internals with Slip Stream and then cycling the action over and over. I can already tell a difference in the feel of the trigger pull. Not lighter but smoother. I have been lubing all my guns with this new product and they all seem a little smoother for it. Hey, here's the little guy now.....
