Abstract
An apparatus to minimize short stroke in a revolver is provided wherein a first end of the transfer bar is pivotably disposed on the trigger adjacent to the first end of a hand, the second end of the transfer bar disposed adjacent to the firing pin of the hammer, wherein during a firing cycle, prior to the revolver being brought back to the ready-to-fire position, the trigger cannot be depressed until the trigger is first fully undepressed, wherein the second end of the transfer bar engages a transfer bar blocking surface of the hammer slot in the hammer to prevent the trigger from being fully depressed.

A device to minimize short stroke in a revolver, the revolver comprising:
- (a) a frame;
- (b) a barrel;
- (c) a trigger having a trigger pawl, the pawl having a rounded nose;
- (d) a cylinder disposed in the frame having a plurality of breach chambers disposed about a central axis and a ratchet having teeth, said cylinder adapted to rotate about the central axis, said cylinder having a plurality of depressions, each depression disposed adjacent to one of said breach chambers, said ratchet having teeth to index the cylinder in the frame to align one of said breach chambers with said barrel;
- (e) a bolt pivotably disposed on the frame between the trigger and the cylinder, the bolt having a first end having a receiving slot for receiving the trigger pawl, the bolt having a second end having a bolt pawl for engaging one of said depressions, the rounded nose of the trigger pawl causing the trigger to be unable to Dull the bolt out of engagement and ensure that the bolt is always properly reset;
- and
- (f) a hand having a first end disposed on the trigger, and a second end disposed against a tooth of the ratchet, wherein pulling of the trigger causes the hand to index the cylinder to align a new breach chamber with the barrel.
