The British Bull Dog model was an enormously successful solid-frame design introduced by Webley in 1872. It featured a {{convert|2.5|in|mm|adj=on}} barrel and was chambered for five .44 Short Rimfire, .442 Webley, or .450 Adams cartridges. (Webley later added smaller scaled five chambered versions in .320 and .380 calibres, but did not mark them British Bull Dog.) A .44 calibre Belgian-made British Bulldog revolver was used to assassinate US President [[James Garfield]] on 2 July 1881 by [[Charles Guiteau]].

It was designed to be carried in a coat pocket or kept on a bedside table, and many have survived to the present day in good condition, having seen little actual use.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.phelbs.com/HRFTX/tbbd.htm |access-date=2011-04-02 |last=Ficken |first=Homer R. |title=Webley's The British Bull Dog Revolver, Serial Numbering and Variations |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120223210553/http://www.phelbs.com/HRFTX/tbbd.htm |archive-date=2012-02-23}}</ref> Numerous copies of this design were made during the late 19th century in Belgium, with smaller numbers also produced in Spain, France and the US.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://guns.connect.fi/gow/QA14.html |access-date=2006-08-03 |publisher= Gunwriters | last=Kekkonen |first=P.T. |title=British Bulldog revolver}}</ref> They remained reasonably popular until the Second World War, but are now generally sought after only as collectors' pieces, since ammunition for them is for the most part no longer commercially manufactured.
