Abstract
A revolver characterized by an improved hand, strut and transfer bar construction includes a frame, a cylinder and associated actuator for the cylinder supported in the frame, a trigger and a hammer also both mounted in the frame. The hand is pivotally supported from the trigger preferably by means of a pivot pin at the lower end of the hand. When the trigger is pulled, the hand is for operating the cylinder actuator to rotate the cylinder to the next position prior to firing. The transfer bar or connector as it is sometimes referred to is also pivotally supported at its lower end from the hand. The transfer bar is preferably supported about a mid-point of the hand intermediate the pivot support for the hand and the upper end thereof. The transfer bar cooperates with the hammer when the trigger is pulled to fire the firearm.
