Connecticut Arms Manfg, Hammond Bulldog .41 cal cf
Description: Connecticut Arms Manfg, Hammond Bulldog Used in the movie " Tomestone". This pistol was converted from .44 rimfire to shoot .41 center fire. Included are 6 rounds of amunition manufactured by cutting down .41 cal case, adding a .440 ball with 5 grns of Black powder. It is a very fine shooter. Included is the Certificate of Authenticity from IMA. The Connecticut Arms & Manufacturing Co. was started 1863 by brothers Henry B. and Lewis Hammond, the company was located at Naubuc, Conn, Their application for a single-shot breech-loading rifle and carbine was submitted on September 30, 1864, and the brothers received their first patent, #44798, one month later. This long arm featured a very strong pivoting action which was suited to use in various configurations, including pistols and pistol-carbines with detachable wooden or wire shoulder stocks; target models with barrels in lengths up to 24 inches; including cased line-throwing gun. Introduced in 1865, approximately 7,400 of these single shot derringers were manufactured. A potent personal defense arm, the 24-ounce, Hammond, with its 4-inch blued barrel and case-hardened frame, could chamber both .44 short or .44 long rimfire cartridges. Loading is accomplished by drawing the hammer to half-cock, then depressing a button release on the top of the breech block. As the breech block moves rearward and swings to the left side, the built-in ejector extracts the fired case from the now-open chamber. After inserting a fresh cartridge, the breech block must be manually closed. The hammer also must be cocked manually. A groove in the top of the release button serves as a rear sight on Hammond pistols. Most production model pistols also featured checkered gutta percha grip panels Unlike the company's long arms, Bulldog pistols featured a spur trigger without a ring trigger guard. Unfortunately, no known records exist regarding either production dates or totals. Most experts estimate production at fewer than 8,000 examples. The Bulldog pistols continued to appear in sales literature from various retailers until the mid-1890s. Despite its limited production and its long absence from production, these pistols, with their robust design, remain interesting items for collection and study.
