A firing mechanism for a firearm includes a frame, a barrel attached to the frame, a cylinder attached to the frame and including a chamber that is alignable with the barrel, and a latch pin in direct contact with the cylinder that moves forward to force the cylinder forward to directly contact the chamber with the barrel when a trigger is pulled.

A Ruger revolver has a cylinder release button for loading/unloading that is stiff. It is difficult to push into the frame to release the cylinder. A spring force keeps the cylinder locking rod pushed rearward into a locking hole. When the cylinder release button is pushed into the frame, a short lever arm moves the release arm pin forward to overcome the spring bias force rearward. The present invention attaches to the face of the release button to extend the lever arm from the fulcrum of the cylinder release rod. A bolt and/or glue can attach the extension lever arm to the face of the cylinder release face. A factory model could provide a one piece cylinder release rod with an extended rearward projecting face.

An apparatus to minimize short stroke in a revolver is provided wherein a first end of the transfer bar is pivotably disposed on the trigger adjacent to the first end of a hand, the second end of the transfer bar disposed adjacent to the firing pin of the hammer, wherein during a firing cycle, prior to the revolver being brought back to the ready-to-fire position, the trigger cannot be depressed until the trigger is first fully undepressed, wherein the second end of the transfer bar engages a transfer bar blocking surface of the hammer slot in the hammer to prevent the trigger from being fully depressed.

A double-barreled revolver has a frame, a trigger lever having a first end connected to the frame and movable between a forward rest position and a rearward actuated position, the trigger lever having a free end extending away from the frame and opposite the first end, a guard element forward of the trigger lever and having an upper end connected to the frame and a downwardly depending lower end, and the free end of the trigger lever being separated from the lower end of the guard element by a limited gap, such that the frame, trigger lever and guard element collectively define a protected trigger space. The gap may be less than 0.9 cm such that a user's finger may not enter the trigger space except from a lateral direction. The trigger lever may have an exposed actuation portion configured to be actuated by two fingers.

A firearm is provided comprising a frame which defines a forward aperture. A cylinder is mounted rotatably to the frame to rotate on a cylinder axis. The cylinder defines a plurality of passages each at a common radius from the axis, each passage includes a chamber and a rifled bore. At least one of the passages is being chambered for a different caliber than at least one other of the passages.

The Sliding Revolver Pistol is a new design of revolver pistols which has less recoil and more accuracy. The main difference with traditional revolver pistols is that the new design lets the barrel and cylinder slide back together at firing time.
