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.

A revolver comprising: a body provided at a rear end thereof with a pistol grip and at a front end thereof with a forwardly projecting barrel; a frame secured to the front end of said body and disposed in a substantially vertical plane extending in the direction of said barrel; a cylinder with a multiplicity of cartridge chambers rotatable within said frame about a shaft paralleling said barrel, said cylinder having a multiplicity of rotary positions in which a respective chamber thereof is aligned with said barrel; a trigger disposed between said frame and said pistol grip substantially at the level of said shaft, said trigger being swingable parallel to said vertical plane about a fulcrum on said body substantially at the level of said barrel; detent means engageable with said cylinder for arresting same in any of said rotary positions; stepping means disposed in said body above the level of said barrel and controlled by said trigger for advancing said cylinder from one rotary position to the next upon a retraction of said trigger, said detent means being coupled with said trigger for temporarily disengaging said cylinder during said retraction; and a firing mechanism in said body including a striker pin in line with said barrel behind said cylinder, a hammer engageable with an end of said striker pin remote from said cylinder, said hammer being swingable about a pivot located substantially on the level of said trigger and being operatively coupled with said trigger upon retraction thereof for swinging from a normal position adjacent said striker pin into a withdrawn position remote from said striker pin with subsequent decoupling of said hammer from said trigger; and spring means connected with said hammer for driving same against said striker pin upon the decoupling thereof from said trigger.
