Amusing! Suppose somebody has to monkey with alternate designs. (BTW: the "automatic revolver" is not a new concept, though the mechanism for yours may be.) Tell us how it works, both mechanically and performance. And what it's good for.

From what I can tell there is a camming action as the top part moves to the rear that pushes the pawl in order to rotate the cylinder. The hammer is cocked by the top part moving to the rear and riding over the hammer. The cylinder also doesn't have the cylinder lock cuts on the outside of the cylinder to marr the surface.

The distance from the center of the trigger to the barrel axis is incredibly short and may even be shorter than my 1911.

I read articles that report excellent accuracy. I'll have to get back to everyone on that one when I can get to the range. Maybe Thursday.

What is it good for?
I'm not going to try to answer that question.
