If your photos come to the point where you can see individual pores in the finish, please use the [ resize=X] (where x = pixel size, the picture I resized is 500) and [ /resize] to end it.
Just make sure that there are no spaces between the [ and the code

Bulldoy
I had a very early classic Bulldog from the 70's/80's and used it mostly exactly as you describe, a trail gun. I had two or three holsters for it, some loaders, and both the factory wood and a square but Pachmyer Premier rubber. It shot precisely to point of aim with its fixed sights and a reload with a 250 gr Keith bullet. Carried it a SD gun too, with Federal 200 gr LSWC hollow points.
Really enjoyed that gun, shot it frequently, and found it about the perfect size. But eventually, with my 250 gr reloads, I shot the gun out of time. I've thought more than once about obtaining another.
If you plan to shoot yours much, I'd suggest as light a load as you can stand for practice and plinking.

I don't know why one would want a bobbed hammer on a trail gun........................unless it was for bobcats!
Nice! I have a 44 version with a shrouded hammer that I carry sometimes, and a 45acp with a regular hammer that I bought recently just because. I've had the 44 for five years or so, and it works just fine, but I don't shoot it a whole lot and I use light loads when I do. It's a nice coat pocket carry piece for the cold weather we're starting to get around here.

That's the very gun that saved the .44 special from obscurity. Charter sold a crapload of them.
Congrats on a great find.
