Description:
The Swiss Ordnance Commision began developing revolvers in the early 1870s, first with the Modell 1872, chambered in 10.4mm rimfire before transitioning to a centrefire cartridge in the Modell 1878. In 1882, Colonel Rudolf Schmidt developed a new revolver chambered in a 7.5mm cartridge, with a cylinder that held six rounds. The design is often mistaken for a variation of Emile Nagant's revolver, however, the Modell 1882 has more in common with the French Chamelot-Delvigne M1873. It is a double action design with a rebounding hammer and a hinged side plate allowing easy access to the revolver's lockwork. The Modell 1882 was light, weighing 28oz (0.79kg) and was just over 9 inches (23 cm) in overall length. The pistols loaded and unloaded through a loading gate on the right of the frame. The revolver used Ismael Isaac Abadie's system where once the gate was open the the cylinder can only be turned by pulling the trigger, the hammer remains stationary while the indexing pawl rotates the cylinder. The user ejected spent casings by manually cycling the ejection rod fixed below the barrel. None
