Product Overview

The Charter Arms Bulldog XL .45 Colt revolver in stainless steel is a compact, powerful option built for shooters who want serious stopping power in a carry-friendly package. The Bulldog XL represents Charter Arms' commitment to no-nonsense wheelgun design: a full-size frame in a short-barrel platform, giving you more control and shooter comfort than compact snubbies without the bulk of a full-length revolver. Built from stainless steel with a matte finish, this Model 74530 stands up to field use and everyday carry wear.

At 21 ounces with a 2.5-inch barrel, the Bulldog XL chambers .45 Colt—a proven cartridge with significant power potential and a dedicated following among hunters, sport shooters, and defensive-minded carriers. The 5-shot cylinder feeds reliable revolver simplicity with no magazines to manage or fumble in the field. The matte stainless finish resists glare and corrosion, while fixed sights keep the gun simple and snag-free when drawing from concealment or a pack.

The full black rubber grip with finger grooves is designed to manage the recoil of .45 Colt loads and help you maintain control during rapid fire or in high-stress situations. A standard hammer gives you single-action trigger work if you want it, or traditional double-action cycling for defensive scenarios. Whether you're building a backup revolver, exploring .45 Colt for hunting, or looking for a stainless-steel concealed carry wheelgun with real stopping power, the Bulldog XL delivers practical, tactile reliability without marketing fluff.
