And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Was there a design issue that kept the top-break revolver from wider applications by gun manufacturers? I don't think many are made any more. Maybe replicas?
Basically only the Schofield revolver replicas by Uberti and Cimarron Arms are manufactured today. The swing out cylinder made the frame stronger and easier to manufacture pushed the break open design to the history books.
I am partial to the “ Bicycle Gun”

ReplyDeleteThe little hammerless revolver looks like the .38 that I carry in my glove compartment of my truck.
