Abstract
A revolver in which the cylinder is indexed by the cylinder-indexing hand to a position just before the next chamber is in full alignment with the barrel where the corresponding cylinder notch partially overlaps the cylinder lock. The cylinder lock is provided with a cam-surface on its cylinder-engaging portion that engages the leading edge of the notch for camming the cylinder the rest of the way into its fully indexed position.
