Design and historic lineage

The Model 1 1/2 centerfire lineage is notable for bridging pocket revolver ergonomics with more robust centerfire reliability. Built during 1878–1892, this design exhibits the period’s attention to mechanical fit: the top-break frame and tight lock-up minimize play at the hinge and barrel, improving repeatable accuracy for short-range defensive use and close-range target work.

Action, lock-up, and trigger

Single-action operation combined with a .32 S&W spur trigger gives a crisp, deliberate trigger break favored by shooters who appreciate traditional mechanics. The tight lock-up on the top-break frame reduces timing issues and keeps the revolver aligned shot-to-shot.

Barrel, sights, and handling

The 3.5″ barrel length is a balance of sight radius and concealability. For modern tactical-minded users, that barrel offers practical short-range accuracy while maintaining a compact carry profile. The top-break ejection system makes unloading quick when compared to fixed-cylinder designs of the era.
