I still ahve my Bulldog from the early 70's when they come out, still shoots as good as did when new, maybe not a smith but still is a good shooter. I also have a taurus 44 special with adj. sights which is also a good shooter, trigger is pretty darn smooth on it bought it when they first came out also. I dont know maybe i was lucky but the older ones seem to still be pumping the rounds out.

Have a Taurus 431 that i have used as a trainer gun for larger calibers, std. Pressure. Seems to be very good quality, but do prefer my S&W 696.

I did research on CA online and off. What I found was that CA Bulldog was not a bad gun...not a S&W but not as pricey either. So I bought a Bulldog as I love the size and caliber. I have a Taurus 431 44spl and it is beautiful to shoot...feels like it had an action job done but it didn't. The CA is smaller so I went ahead and bought one...very nice! I fired a number of rounds through it and then shot some Hornady SD ammo through it. At 17yds I go a 3" group with 3 shots touching making a clover leaf! It does not have the looks of more expensive guns but it works great so far. It has nice hand filling grips,just the size I like and can be easily concealed. I have owned 5 Taurii and 1 fell apart at first range session, but the others are excellent shooters...again not the finish of a Smith but my old Taurus 86 out shoots my S&W model 14...both very similiar guns...target 38's. I plan on getting the CA 40 S&W and 45acp if they come out with it.

Welcome to the forum, pziehr. ONLY one of five falling apart for a Taurus is much better than my experience with that junk.......

Welcome to the forum, Michael48. Sorry to hear of your very sad experience. I have given up experimenting with any DA revolvers not made by S&W or Colt. My experiences have always been unpleasant......

I bought one in .22wmr recently sight unseen, because it had to be ordered. Right around $340 IIRC. Am I happy with it, no. Does it go bang, yea if you can pull the trigger, I had to clean up the chambers because they were so rough I had a devil of a time ejecting the casings the first time I fired it. I thought it might be a good rig for my wife. It works, but that's all. Part of the frame is polymer too which surprised me.
