Putting decent grips on it improved the comfort immensely. At this point the only thing I don't like about the gun is the canted barrel. Selection of holsters is quite poor as well, but hopefully it will improve in the future. Bulldog holsters do not fit by just this little. At least the grips fit. I scored some smooth grips by Custom Wood on eBay, in the original 20 year old box.
Also, I wish Charter designed a lock into the crane. I accidentally put mine left side up and pressed on it -- immediately bent the crane. That was unpleasant, although obviously I mistreated the gun. But I have a little Taurus that has a crane that locks into a little indentation under the barrel. That's more foolproof, the fool being me of course.
Since I got the Pitbull, I fondled a Redhawk at a gun show, which is the gun I wanted originally. Both are in .45 ACP, but Redhawk also accepts .45 Colt. To tell the truth, I was happy I made that choice. Redhawk is an enormously massive gun. I did not realize just how much. Of course it's very sturdy too, and it's a quality piece. Redhawk can shoot anything you can cram into a .45LC case. But I don't want a gun in that class. Also, unless you shoot competition, moon clips are much too bothersome.
