Abstract
A revolver having a frame, a cylinder, a trigger assembly, and a barrel. The cylinder is rotatable on its axis and is indexed to position a chamber at the six o'clock position. The barrel is in line with the chamber at the six o'clock position, allowing the revolver to fire a projectile from the six o'clock position, thus causing less barrel rise.
Claims5
A revolver comprising:
- a frame;
- a cylinder includes a plurality of chambers, indexing detents, an axis, and an axis bore, said cylinder is rotatably and axially retained in said frame;
- an extraction rod assembly including at least one extraction plate and a ratchet, said extraction rod is retained in said cylinder;
- a barrel including a bore, said barrel is coupled to said frame;
- a cylinder pivot having said cylinder rotatably retained on one end, a circular outer perimeter of an opposing end of said cylinder pivot is pivotally retained in a bore formed in a front of said frame, said extractor rod extends from a front of said cylinder pivot on said one end, a front end of said extractor rod is in contact with a top of said barrel;
- and
- a trigger assembly coupled to said frame, said trigger assembly having a trigger, wherein said barrel bore is in alignment with one of said plurality of chambers when one of said plurality of chambers is in a six o'clock position of rotation of said cylinder.
