Connecticut Arms & Manufacturing Co. Hammond Bulldog was a compact, single-shot pistol between approximately 1865 and 1868. Designed for personal defense, it featured a sturdy frame, a pivoting breechblock for loading, and was commonly chambered for .44 rimfire cartridges. Most examples had a 4-inch octagonal barrel, a spur trigger without a trigger guard, and a case-hardened frame with a blued barrel. Fewer than 8,000 examples are believed to have been produced making surviving specimens relatively scarce and collectible today
