 Snubnosed revolver

A snubnosed revolver (colloquially known as a snubbie, belly gun or bulldog revolver) is any small, medium or large frame revolver with a short barrel, generally 3 inches or less in length.Smaller revolvers are often made with "bobbed" or "shrouded" hammers, and there are even "hammerless" models, all allowing the gun to be drawn quickly with little risk of it snagging on clothing.
