I got to take the Bulldog for a walk yesterday. I shot 90 rounds, 50 240 grain gunshow stuff, 20 rounds Silvertips and 20 rounds Golddots. All shooting was done at 20 yards with a standing one hand hold.
I started out with the gunshow stuff. The first 5 went way to the right, after changing my grip the rounds settled into a 6" group. Next was the Silvertips. They shot into a nice 4 to 5 inch groups. Last was the Golddots. They went into 2 to 3 inch groups with quite alot of cloverleafs.
The guns felt great, I did remove some sharp edges though. The recoil was on par with my 642 when shooting +P stuff. The trigger is better then the Smith, that was a nice suprise. I will be shooting it quite a bit in the months to come. I am going to work out a practice load using 200gr lead. The Golddots will be my carry load. I am going to make another post concerning some gunsmithing for this jewel.
Do I like it? With a few changes and if it continues to operate as it did yesterday, I do believe that my 642 will become a safe queen.

I keep reading that they will shoot loose pretty quick.
