Hello air gunners , I recently bought the Benjamin Bulldog 357 and there are a few things I would like to do to it . The first thing is getting a suppressor that would possibly make it back yard friendly. Who would you recommend that makes a suppressor that would quiet the bulldog 357 down ? Also what other accessory would you put into the Bulldog that would give it more power and where could I get it . Thank You Robert

How big is your yard? Pitbull has some stuff, Donnyfl often gets recommended too. But it is still going to be pretty loud.
First thing you should get is the steel charging handle from Pitbull, even at stock power the pivot on my handle was getting oval. (edit) you also NEED a depinger! The ping in the air tube is incredibly loud.

Besides the JSAR balanced valve there are no parts available to increase power. I believe they are no longer making the valve. And even if they were, it had stiction problems. With some modifications it could be made to work.
The best mod you can do for power is free (if you have a drill press). Drilling out all the ports to 80% of bore diameter and angling the valve port and barrel port to allow a smoother flow of air will get you 250 fpe or more IIRC.

Pitbull powerspring can add some power. Their cocking lever is good insurance from breakage. But other then that theres not much available without sending the gun out. I've read horror stories from people that have sent their guns out and get them back shooting great for about 50 shots then back to the builder for repair. This is what I want to avoid. The gun was inexpensive to me so if I cant get a solid bump in power thatll last it just let it sit. I've taken it out but it's a coyote or raccoon gun at most from the factory.

The biggest powermod I done was enlarged the barrel and transfer port plud the valve port.
The gun went from 200 fpe to 250 fpe with the same ammo and hammer spring setting.
However be warned you will loose shot count and efficiency
My gun went from 15 shots from 2000-3000 psi
Down to 8 shots max.
Was it worth it?
Shooting Cast ammo......yes.
For pellets absolutely not.
Look into pitbull airguns.
If you are not comfortable pulling them apart and drilling,grinding and polishing parts....parts that once you damage it you need to replace parts.
As far as suppression.
Remove your current one and fire......you will appreciate how much is works and you do not realize it.
