I would have gone with the Taurus.

Anybody can get a Taurus but how many have a "British Bulldog"? Great choice!

Kudos, Ray! The "British Bulldogs" are a glorious species! I'd shoot it with black powder loads -- plus a helmet and a kevlar glove!

NICE. it's the kind of gun one might find down in the bottom of a long forgotten sleeping bag, handed down without unrolling until . . .

.44 is greater than .35 in my math book.

or, as some say, 45 is greater than 43, and I'm one of them . . .

Not that I'm wishing ill for anyone...

Imagine though, whilst on the way to your mailbox you've just experienced a negative outcome interpersonal relationship issue culminating in a miscreant upon the ground, punctured.

Then imagine, when the local constabulary show up, the look on their faces when you hand over that little bulldog.

And explaining to the miscreant (assuming not heading toward ambient temperature) that he just got capped with a genuine antique.

Explain the 5th chamber, you said 4 good chambers...( not have 5 empties?, is it rusted up?)
The fact that it's an antique British Bulldog I get but the fact that it obviously needs a little work to get to 100%( parts availability)(cost more in smith fees get get it right than its worth maybe?)is why I said I'd have picked the Taurus.
I have sourced/ fit parts for a Colt lightning pistol and a Merwin Hubert but I sure as heck wouldn't want to have one as a carry gun which is what I figured you were after with the Taurus.

My mailman is such a friendly chap, I don't often greet him heeled... well, not visibly anyway!

You made the right choice Ray!

I've been looking off and on for a .44 or .45 caliber bulldog type revolver, especially after creating .450 Adams rounds for my friend with a mint RIC revolver he inherited from his wife's grandfather.

Someday!

I'd pay good money to see that!

Good stuff, Ray!

My dad has s couple of those along with a few Belgian made types. I'll have to get a couple of pictures the next time I'm over there.

I'd take one over a Taurus any day.

Since I was a child, I wanted a RIC revolver that I read about in the American Rifleman.

Settled for a Charter Arms Bulldog….which was also a great choice.

Bill in Oregon · Post by **Bill in Oregon** » Sun Jan 14, 2024 9:18 am

I am a Charter fan, Scott, but I, too, longed for an RIC after reading Jeff Cooper sing its praises 50-some years ago!

I would actually carry this.

LOL - that's why it sounds FUN...

I’ve always thought that the guard in front of the cylinder was a really thoughtful feature of some British revolvers.

Pushes your holster open whenever you put it away.
