One of the gunsmith store staff had 2 Iver Johnson break action revolvers from the 1920s or before. A .38 S&W and an .32 S&W.
The .32 was SO cute. Look how short that cylinder is?! People used to defend themselves with this. It's smaller than a J-Frame. Oh, that was neat. Both in functioning condition. Perfect pocket gun. Well, for some levels of 'perfect.'
Also, I imagine I should mention this. It's a Smith and Wesson Revolver class. Not Ruger. Not Colt. Not Chiappa Rhino. Them others are different to various levels of different. For instance, timing with a Colt is different. It doesn't even have to do with the direction the wheel turns. And the inside of a Chiappa gives me night terrors.
I'd love to see Ruger bring out a breaktop revolver. Imagine having a little breaktop in .22LR. North American Arms toyed with bringing out a tiny .22 breaktop, but chickened out. And a breaktop in .32 S&W Long would be a great carry gun for women that don't want a semiauto.
