Abstract
The cylinder of a revolver has a recess in its rear face through which the chambers pass and which is surrounded by a shoulder. In the base of this recess is a second recess in which is received an extractor star carried by the ejector rod and itself carrying a cylindrical member having the ratchet thereon. Within the first recess there is a steel clip which carries the cartridges. The clip is of substantially the same thickness as the depth of the recess, and has a plurality of arms radiating from the central portion to form generally circular openings each subtending an angle in excess of 180.degree. at its centre. Each arm is split along a line running substantially radially of the central portion to permit the arm to flex for the purpose of inserting the cartridges into the openings.
