The Silver and Fletcher Royal Irish Constabulary Revolver

The Royal Irish Constabulary was the main national police force of Ireland during British rule. The RIC was armed with the Webley and Scott No. 1 RIC revolver, a double action centerfire cartridge revolver chambered in .450.  In the late 1880’s a few hundred RIC revolvers were outfitted by Silver and Fletcher with their rare self ejecting system.  The hammer was removed and replaced with the Silver and Fletcher mechanism. A mechanism is connected to the hammer so that when the revolver is cocked, a hook type ejector at the top of the frame slides under the rim of the empty casing, ejecting the spent brass out of the loading port. The hammer also worked as a safety, if pulled back and rotated horizontally, the firing pin was withdrawn rendering the revolver inert.

The downfall of the system was that the loading gate had to be open in order for it to work. Keeping the gate closed and unloading it after firing by dry firing the pistol was not that much faster than just using a revolver with a regular loading gate. In addition, by the 1880′s revolvers with break open actions were becoming popular, and by the 1890′s swing out cylinders would common, making the system obsolete.

Mateba 6 Unica Autorevolver

An Italian made revolver that was one of the first commercially successful uses of an under-barrel design. This would later be implemented in its direct descendant, the Chiappa Rhino. Although the original Mateba 6 Unicas are rare collector pieces, the company has since (as of  March, 2018) revived the revolver and currently still produces them. Original examples can fetch anywhere from $2,500 up to $5,000 depending on condition.

AMT Hardballer Longslide

A somewhat iconic 1911 variant that was made famous for its appearance in the first Terminator movie and the Hitman videogame series. One of the first (and few) 1911′s to use a 7″ long barrel and slide, it is known for its accuracy but not reliability. This is due to the fact AMT was one of the first companies to use stainless steel for a mass production pistol. Unfortunately the issue of stainless steel galling led to the problems many early owners encountered.

Oh damn I had one of those back in the day.  Wish I didn’t sell it but at lease I kept the Automag 3 in 30 carbine
