Something from Charter Arms

Every now and then I find a decent deal. An old Charter 44 special.

My Dad always wanted one of those. Nice.

I had a pair of them a long time ago. Wish I still had them.

Famous for putting George Wallace in a wheelchair.

And the killer Son of Sam.

My research says a 38 was used to shoot Wallace.

And the killer Son of Sam.

Yep. Whenever I hear ".44 Bulldog" I think of that idiot. Nice find nonetheless.

A question in the Trivial Pursuit board game -- Caliber of handgun used by Son of Sam

 

[Legend]

I had one and gave it to my father in law for a house gun. It was dependable and substantial.

I own one of the older models in stainless,,,
Shooting that handgun is like wielding the Hammer of Thor.

Nice score my friend,,,

Old school. One of the first revolvers that I bought. Picked one up at an auction for $75 (1982). Screwed up and gave it to my brother who later sold it. "Hammer of Thor".....very apt description!
