Key Specifications

• Built on a single-action revolver mechanism.
• Features a 5.5-inch blued barrel and matching cylinder.
• Holds 6 rounds in the cylinder.
• Uses blade front, notched rear sight.

• Like other modern-production single-action reproductions, the firing pin is a separate spring-loaded part mounted in the frame rather than fixed to the hammer, letting every chamber be loaded safely instead of requiring an empty chamber under the hammer as with an original period design.
• Loads and unloads one round at a time through a loading gate on the right side of the frame, with a spring-loaded ejector rod for pushing out spent cases.
• As a traditional single-action design, the hammer must be manually cocked before every shot.
• The cylinder is removed for cleaning by opening the loading gate, half-cocking the hammer, and withdrawing the spring-retained cylinder base pin, a simple owner-level takedown.
