ABSTRACT:
A firearm having a frame; a barrel leading from the frame; a cartridge firing mechanism biased to an uncocked position and including a trigger and firing pin, the mechanism being operatively mounted in the frame and adapted to be operated to fire a cartridge; a rotary magazine having a plurality of circumferentially spaced cartridge chambers and being rotatable relative to the frame discretely to align the chambers with the barrel and the firing pin; a spring motor which is adapted, in use, to exert torque on the magazine relative to the frame, thereby to rotate the magazine; and indexing mechanism adapted to operate automatically after operation of the cartridge firing mechanism to allow the magazine to rotate from an aligned position in which a cartridge chamber is in alignment with the barrel and the firing pin, and to arrest the magazine in a non-aligned position in which no cartridge chamber is in alignment with the barrel and the firing pin.
