Lions, tigers and bears, Oh my! At sixty years old and more than a few handguns this one had never tweaked any interest from me. Never a may I see that one please, never a stall over a table to touch, now I think I know why. A family member had passed and it was discovered during dispersal, "That goes to the gun nut in family". After inspection, clean and rub I am fairly sure I will not be putting (if you could find/make any) live rounds in this specimen. Barrel/cylinder gap .033", the ramps on cylinder do not have the usual T slots cut for bolt/lock, just ramps. Cocked and locked you can roll cylinder back and forth maybe .100". Clear with hammer down you can roll cylinder back and forth with firing pin banging in empty cylinder hole stopping further rotation. Cylinder lock (bolt) is built into top of trigger and only protrudes at hammer/trigger cocked. Sometimes attempting DA it is locked until slight hammer pull then it will release for DA. Piece is a solid 95%+ and looks probably not a half a box ran through it. Please understand I am not complaining here, a free firearm is rarely a bad thing and the family and contacts have scored me some real gems over the years. I am just, maybe the word is confused with the fit, function of this piece. Pretty sure this one will live bagged in the dark like it has most its life until they go through my stuff.
