Abstract
The present invention is revolver louver which redirects the hot propellant gases which leak from the barrel-cylinder gap away from the user. The louver provides at least one directional passages which control the flow of propulsion gases after firing the revolver. Numerous embodiments are disclosed including some having an expansion capability to further block gas passage and one embodiment which is an extension of the revolver frame itself. One embodiment further comprises an expansion groove to further block the passage of propulsion gases. As such, the present invention's general purpose is to provide a new and improved revolver that is more compact and safer for the user than a conventional revolver.
