My Bridgeport shoots to point of aim at 15 yds. Just a touch low at 7. Both with 240 gr. Bullets. Lighter bullets impact lower.

I'm amused that folks who will carry a j frame with 158 gr. LSWCHPs consider an equivalent 44 special loading inadequate...

FWIW Blazer GDs averaged 868 fps through my 3" Bridgeport, although being sticky on extraction due to the aluminum cases. I'm looking for the brass cased loading now.

I procured an early Bridgeport awhile back after looking for a nice one for the last year. SN 248,xxx dates it in the area of 1974. This one was ANIB, with a faint drag line from the front frame pin backing out slightly to abrade the cylinder. Single action pull is about 4 lbs, double action...

Unless you have some experience with recoil I'd pass on the DA 460s and the like and start with a SA such as Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt. They can be loaded anywhere from snoozing to outright painful without exceeding the sensible limits of the shooter or firearm. Jumping up to a heavy...

Living in California for the weather is like living at the Arctic circle for the free ice :what:....and yes, I was born and raised there.

Leading is usually the result of undersized flame cut bullets. Sizeing correctly to the cylinder throats corrects the problem.

I wanted a concealable .44 Special smaller than the S&W 696 (had one) and after much research decided on the Charter Bridgeport-Stratford series, and recently acquired a Bulldog made right at the end of Stratford production. Used, of course, in very good condition, that the previous owner had a...

USBP379 is offering helpful observations not personal criticisms or ad hominem attacks on Ruger. Have the cylinder throats and bore been slugged and measured? To be clear, if the bullets are being thrown through oversized throats they will be gas-cut and off-center before hitting the...
