Can anyone give me some info on a Arminius 38 special revolver. I cannot find anything about it. My book notes that it was previously manufactured in Zella-Mehlis Germany from 1922-1970. This one has a ribbed barrel.

    I inherited an old American Bulldog pistol. I'm told it belonged to my wife's great grandfather. It's stainless or nickle with a 2" octagonal barrel. I'm not absolutely sure of the caliber. It's in decent shape considering its been sitting in a dresser drawer for the past fifty years or more. Anyone have any idea what this thing might be worth or where I can get more info on it?

    Ruger or Browning .22 autoloader or Ruger Single Six-you can't go wrong with any of those and all can be had for under $300 and sometimes cheaper used. Also check your state laws to make sure you can hunt rabbits with a handgun--should be no problem though.

    +1 on the Ruger Single Six with the 22lr/22 mag cylinders.

    Depends on what you mean by "break the bank", but any .22 pistol with adjustable sights could work.

    A dot sight might help too, so you might think about that as well.

    Contender in .410 would work for close range stuff, I'm guessing 20-30 yards as absolute tops with birdshot. You can even get a .22 barrel as well for versatility.

    The listed .22's will shoot critters at further range with more accuracy and less cost than .410 shells. (I have a 6.5 inch Ruger with 2 cylinders, along with a Taurus 94 .22 lr and a Taurus 941 .22 mag in revolver persuasion, and a Sig mosquito and a "restored from rust-pit hell" Ruger mk 1 for semi-auto fun) I like hunting with .22's, they just seem to work well for me.

    Nothing wrong with any of the suggestions in the previous posts. You might want to look for a Colt Woodsman though. IMO unbeatable for balance and very accurate little guns. One in collectable condition will break the bank but folks loved these guns and used them a lot so there are well used ones available at reasonable prices. Used to carry one a lot while deer and elk hunting in the Pacific Northwest to shoot the occasional grouse.

    I wouldn't use bird shot, I hunt them with sixes in a ten inch contender.
