Wheelgun Wednesday: Civil War Lever Action Revolver
Prior to the Civil War, firearms inventors were attempting various mechanisms and designs in order to enable revolvers to be fired faster without breaking the firing grip. One of these designs, the Adams system, is a true double action. Another design, the Starr, has a cocking trigger that contacts a frame-mounted external sear. The design we are looking at today, the Savage & North, is a lever action.
