Abstract
A combined cylinder-release and safety device for a double-action revolver having a finger lever which is held in its normal, safety-off, position by the cylinder-spindle spring for manipulation in one direction against the pressure of the spring in order to release the cylinder. Provision is made for also moving the finger lever in the other direction beyond its normal position in order to lock the action, so that the gun cannot be fired either in double-action or in single-action.
