Review: "Charter Arms Bulldog: A Wheelgun for Everyday Protection"
In 1872, Philip Webley & Son of Birmingham, England, introduced a small double-action (DA) revolver with a 2.5-inch barrel and a five-shot cylinder. Although compact, it chambered big-bore cartridges like the .442 Webley and .450 Adams. Webley later registered the trademark “British Bulldog Revolver,” and it became so popular that it was copied in several places, including Belgium, France, Spain and the United States.
Fast-forward 100 years and, in 1973, the American handgun manufacturer Charter Arms introduced a small, five-shot, DA revolver with a 3-inch barrel in .44 Special and called it the Bulldog. This carbon-steel-framed, blued revolver with oversized walnut grips weighed a mere 20 ounces but packed quite a bit of firepower in a compact, lightweight package. It caught on almost immediately and became a top seller.
Charter Arms 9mm Pit Bull
To all our customers interested in the new rimless 9mm Pit Bull: Please be aware that Charter Arms produced a “Pit Bull” for 9mm Federal cartridges for a brief time in the late 80’s. The old model will have Stratford, CT on the barrel. The 9mm Federal was a rimmed cartridge and is no longer produced. This is not the same as the Pit Bull 9mm rimless revolver produced currently. The new 9mm Pit Bull model will chamber 9mm Luger rounds only. All new Pit Bull revolvers will also have Shelton, CT on the barrel. The new model number is 79920.
