    Default POP QUIZ . . . Identify this odd pistol!

    A friend of mine recently inherited this odd pistol and asked me to identify it. I'm frankly at a loss as it looks like a vintage revolver, but all but one of the cylinders is blocked off. Anybody know what this thing is?

    My only guess is a Savage 101 .22 revolver.

    That was my first guess, but he said that the bore is clear and it does in fact fire a projectile on target.

    I have one of those. If you look at the OP's picture you can see that the barrel and fake cylinder are one solid unit. The whole assembly swings out to the right to load a single round.
    There are three kinds of people in this world....them what's good at math and them what ain't.
