The question was: Which revolver set the standard for all others to follow?
Since the S&W 1st. Model, swing out cylinder hand ejector was the first of it's type, how many modern revolvers have not been swing out cylinders, and hand ejected?
Which revolver set the standard for all others to follow? make/model?

Very accurate assessment.
Other model suggestions given the original question are simply 'tastes great/less filling' background noise.

You seem to have taken a pretty straightforward comment rather personally. I imagine you can't help it.

Nope, can't help it, God. You basically stated (very straightforwardly, yes indeed) that anything anyone had to say beyond your holy word is "background noise".
How can that be taken any other way than personally?
Is that statement not true? Are other models mentioned after the Patterson not exactly that; improvements?
You gotta reach pretty damn far to find anything resembling an insult there. If you can, might I suggest dropping by your nearest hobby shop, because you really need a new hobby.

Mental issues can cause things to be taken personally. You appear deeply afflicted.

That's the way I see it. The question was framed as "what set the standard for everything that followed.
If it was a question of what improvement was the most important, what development changed operation of revolvers the most, etc. the answers could be far different. Not sure why that wads someone's panties so badly.

I am finding myself less inclined to be tolerant of 'silly' every day. And more and more amazed about what some people will get wound up about.
A Glock revolver? The Horror!
