Close Dan. No cigar.

The same designer made the Casul's Improvement for Freedom Arms, then took his design work over to North American Arms. For a while they concurrently made almost-identical mini-revolvers.

The vent rib on a single action, one-inch barrelled revolver smacks of over-design to me.

Anyway...very close.

"single-shot...revolver"? :confused:
 
Probably meant to say single action instead of single shot. Must thumb the hammer back manually to allow subsequent shots.
 
How about this one Kis?

I was going to edit this to save their bandwidth but for some reason I can't put just the address here, it comes up as the pic.:rolleyes:

That's what I figured, but since he said it was a different model than the revolver Pen posted a pic of, I thought it could also be a single shot pistol. Thus, my :confused: Has anyone ever made a DA pocket piece like that? Since the trigger guard is usually the first thing to go when making them small, I would think a DA would be mighty dangerous. :eek:

I've had only bad experiences with belly guns like that. My little brother had a POF Davis .32 that was obscenely inaccurate. We had it at an indoor range, and had a target at 3 yards. You had to point the gun at the floor to find paper. If you pointed it at center mass of a BG, you'd be lucky to knock his hat off. He sold that in a hurry. I've also fired a black powder pepper box. I believe it was in .36, burned the snot outta my hand. Fired a "real" Derringer in either .44 or ,45LC, don't remember which, but that just stung the snot outta my hand. There is no good way to hold those stupid things! Well, maybe with vice grips. :rolleyes: :p :footinmou
 
Yuh NSuh?

That's it. Grips are darker wood, but that's it near as I can tell.

Police used them as "handcuff case guns" back when I got mine. They were so small could be stashed almost anywhere. Came in .22LR, .22WMR, and with various barrel lengths out to...er...maybe 3.5 inches. Subsequent stuff included grips that folded down for better hand purchase, and (I THINK) maybe a neck holster set up.

They were last-ditch guns. Always struck me that they could be a liability, because no one would believe that they were REALLY guns. I read once that the .25 Ravens got a lot of people shot, because they looked like toys. (Also read that at one time more people in some urban area died from the .25 Ravens because they were everywhere, and people got shot, infected and didn't go for treatment for the GSW.

I got mine for tent camping when I did a lot of solo motorcycle trips and camped in obscure places. First round was always birdshot; subseqent rounds were regular long rifle. I figured I wanted to 'inform' someone I had a gun if they were coming in my tent at night, and that the #12 shot could possibly sting faces and cause a reevaluation of priorities.


(changed single-shot to single action, ty.)

Maybe 15ft reasonable accuracy for the one inch, but if I was more than 15 ft away, I didn't need the revolver. I also carried "feet" with me when camping alone. I would use them.
