Wheelgun Wednesday: Double Action Revolver From The US Civil War?
Yes, it’s true, there was actually a double action revolver in service during the United States’ Civil War, though 600 of only 1000 made were actually purchased by the military. The particular firearm in question is an Adams & Kerr .36 caliber percussion revolver of 1858, produced by Massachusetts Arms, which has five chambers and a rather unique side plunger for seating the projectiles.
