Abstract
A locking device is provided for holding the crane (3) in its closed position by means of a pushbutton (14) and a sliding latch (15) mounted in the crane (3). The pushbutton (14) is laterally accessible from the side of the gun opposite to the side from which the cylinder (4) is swung out, and the pushbutton co-operates directly with the sliding latch (15) in order to retract its end that is normally received in an associated notch provided in the frame (2) of the revolver. The pushbutton device (14) thus makes it possible to unlock the crane (3) using the same hand as is used to push the cylinder (4) towards its open position, and this is highly advantageous on ergonomic grounds. The invention is applicable to revolver manufacture.
