Finally picked up this little baby after having it on hold for a while. File it under the "so ugly it's beautiful" category, but you can't argue with the quality manufacture or the neat features.
For example, when you pull back the loading gate, it disables the hammer, but not the trigger. Then, every time you pull back the trigger, the cylinder revolves to allow loading the next round. Same when unloading - every time you pull the trigger, the cylinder lines up perfectly to use the ejection rod to remove empty cases. Close the loading gate, and it functions as normal (double or single action).
For those of you not familiar with the model, here's the link with some great info:

At the end are some pictures of the rest of the "Sub-Collection", along with a group photo.
Enjoy!

Yes, I did find a source for 8mm Gasser ammo, and it's on the way. Can't wait to hit the range.
