One of the most innovative revolver designs of the 19th century, featuring a unique simultaneous ejector that worked by rotating the barrel and cylinder relative to the frame — ejecting cases only when pulled forward (loaded cases stayed in). The "skeletonized" bird-head grip became iconic. Far superior mechanically to the Colt SAA but outsold due to inferior marketing. Carried by Buffalo Bill Cody.
