I have an old Charter Arms Bulldog .357 Magnum in excellent condition. I would like to know what it is worth now. It is blue steel with a 6" bbl.

They sell for about $150 around here. I assume your gun has adjustable sights and the orginal stocks.

These were actually pretty decent guns in their day, if you stuck to shooting .38 Specials. A magnum diet quickly wore them out.

Go on gunsamerica.com, auctionarms.com, and gunbroker.com to look for the going prices. That will help you get an idea.

I saw a very overpriced one on gunbroker.com this week.

It's funny you would ask about this pistol, I was at the armory yesterday buying some 223 ammo and they had a decent used one in the showcase on consignment for $210. It had the normal wear and typical blueing fade you'd expect. Bookman is right, if you use it as a .38special instead of a magnum you'll have a lot more pistol for the money. I had a snubnose Rossi 357 I bought new to use as a .38special.Just like the Charter Arms, if you feed a Rossi nothing but magnums you'll wear it out, quickly .
