Of interest to me...

  • No mention of caliber. That would be somewhat unusual when advertising a specific model today.

  • "Bbl" abbreviation for "barrel". I thought that was a modern boomer misabbreviation but apparently it is very old.

I luke that there is no limit to the additional barrel length.

$175 in today's dollars (+ $17 for every inch on the barrel) sounds like a sweet deal to me, or $210 for hamerless version.

Wait, how do they make it hammerless?

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Hammerless was/is used to refer to revolvers without a exposed hammer to snag on things. Basically so you can take it out of you pocket faster. It would still technically have a hammer. Although other firearms designs use a striker mechanism instead of a traditional hammer.

Cool... so there is like a plate around the hammer mechanism?

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty much. They just built a box around it.
