ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a revolver with a cylinder having an elevated number (e.g. 12) of cartridge chambers, this cylinder being held in a frame formed in part by a pivotable yoke on which the cylinder can be swung out laterally for reloading. The remainder of the frame is integral with a trigger guard which is located behind the cylinder and, along with other structural elements, is bracketed by a sheet-metal jacket of inverted-U shape forming the body of the firearm. A pistol grip attached to that body contains a compression spring which is coupled to the hammer of the firing mechanism and is repressible by the trigger or an independent lever to cock the hammer for double-action or single-action firing. A loader, comprising two hingedly interconnected disks juxtaposable to bracket the end flanges of a set of cartridges between them, is insertable into a clearance between the rear face of a cylinder and a stationary shield fastened to the frame.
