Magnum Revolver – the Six Shooter

Revolvers are most often hand guns. In 1836, Samuel Colt patented a revolver mechanism that led to the widespread use of the revolver.A revolver is a repeating firearm that has a cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing. In comparison, other repeating firearms, such as lever-action, pump-action, and semi-automatic, have a single firing chamber and a mechanism to load and extract cartridges into it. Revolvers have remained popular to the present day in many areas especially in circumstances where reload time and higher cartridge capacity are deemed important.
