![]() The Bulldog is a solid-framed traditional double-action revolver with a five-round cylinder which can be opened by pushing a release slide on the left of the gun, or in the original model by pulling the ejector rod. Its triggerpull, in both single and double-action modes, is quite light. If a large quantity of residue piles up inside the revolver because of heavy usage, the cylinder crane's axle screw can be removed and the cylinder pulled out from the gun for cleaning. ![]() Most critics believe the best way to employ the Bulldog is self-defense. The accuracy of the Bulldog is aided by its trigger pull. According to reviews, it is more accurate than expected for a revolver of its size and type but probably not enough to be called an "accurate" weapon. When the gun is fired, the hammer does not actually strike the firing pin. Under normal firing circumstances a small steel bar (called a transfer bar) is raised as the trigger is pulled, placing it into a position between the firing pin and the hammer itself. The falling hammer strikes the transfer bar, which in turn strikes the firing pin, discharging the weapon. ![]() ![]() If the trigger is not being pulled when the hammer falls, the transfer bar will not be in position and the weapon will not discharge. The Bulldog is apparently intended for light, fast bullets, as with heavier and slower bullets it is less accurate. With most ammunition types the muzzle velocity tends to be between 7 feet per second (215 and 305 meters per second, respectively). #CHARTER ARMS DATE BY SERIAL NUMBER SERIES#. ![]()
