[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 71767, member: 301"]The gun, a revolver, because the barrel revolves after fired to engage a new round, ( round = bullet ) is traditionally know as a Saturday Night Special ( not to be confused with a late night all time great TV music program , produced by Burt Sugarman..) , and was manufactured in a host of different model designs in a wide variety of rim fire ( as opposed to center fire ..) caliber rounds by an even greater number of companies , great and small. The main features are 5 or 6 rounds , in a compact , small grip handle design , with with a hidden unguarded trigger that popped out only when the gun was cocked. It was most effective at close range and easily concealed in purse , muff, pocket belt or boot. In the photo , it's nothing more than a prop. The photo is not clean enough for me to provide an accurate identification of the precise model. Phew....:hungover:[/QUOTE]
