Seen alot of firearms over the years but not like this revolver. Was watching Gunsmoke movie RETURN TO DODGE and there was this bad guy{real early in movie} who had a revolver that he pulled the barrel forward, rotated the cylinder then realigned it with frame then shoved it back together. Any idems guys? Thx

looks like a Merwin and Hulbert
sounds like a colt army, black powder pistol, with maybe a coversion cylinder...
varian nailed it.
Did not see the show. There have been several revolvers with .... different loading systems. This was a Galland.
Yup, Merwin and Hulbert. The amusing part is that when he got it open and in view of the camera, it wasn't loaded.
Merwin & Hulbert VERY popular gun maker. Twist, pull forward, empties drop out, live rounds stay in cylinder.
M & H were in business from 1870s through the '90s, about 20 years. They did not manufacture any guns; they were made in the Hopkins and Allen factory.
