An article in the 1880s Sacramento Bee said of mining town Bodie, Cal.
"Army or Navy revolvers in belt scabbards are seldom seen, the usual weapon is a Bulldog revolver in a leather or canvas lined coat pocket."
The basic Bulldog was a .442 Webley, but there were many knockoffs in smaller calibers.

The Bee also said Bodie was known as "Bad Shot Gulch" because there were a lot of shootings bur few fatalities.
