Okay, Michael I'll bite-more details, sir. And why is the cylinder latch on the right front of the frame?
Best, Jon
The article I linked above is very informative. The location of the cylinder latch is chosen to allow operation with the left hand.Originally Posted by JonInWA

One has to question the wisdom of a squared off trigger guard - placing the weak hand index finger perfectly in line with the barrel cylinder gap. Curious is it not.

Many thanks, Michael.

Interesting and weird. Thanks for posting.
When I first saw one of these (pictured) I thought how weird it looked vs MR73 and all other "traditional" revolvers.
Now it seems to have grown on me.
There weren't many made, does anybody actually shoot one? A lot.
