New Gun: Iver Johnson Target Sealed 8 .22
Was going to buy an old Savage single shot .22 today, but cool as it was, a fake revolver bums me out. Instead decided to buy a Iver Johnson Sealed Target 8 shot actual revolver. Cant wait to try it out.

Re: New Gun: Iver Johnson Target Sealed 8 .22
My grandmother had one of those. Neat little pistols.
My only problem with them is I can't count past 6 without using both hands.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, break it open ..... aw stuff there's 2 left.
Close it.
Bang, bang, click, click, click ...... aw stuff, now I gotta reload.
Enjoy it, they are some nice shooters.

Why are they called "sealed"...?

AJMD,
I "think" it's because they have rebated chambers. But don't quote me on that. I haven't seen one in a very long time.

Re: New Gun: Iver Johnson Target Sealed 8 .22
Mr. Miller has it right!
The front of the cylinder is rebated and seals off sparks, lead shavings, high velocity gases, etc. from traveling out of the barrel/cylinder gap without being deflected forward so as not to injure anyone next to you when firing it. They also have a somewhat unique front sight elevation adjustment.
I have not seen the Taurus revolving rifle yet, but, in this day of lawsuit happy people I suspect those cylinders have similar tool marks.

Re: New Gun: Iver Johnson Target Sealed 8 .22
Traded the IJ back in. Too many FTFs, lots of lead flying everywhere but the target. Sigh. On the plus side, I did get the Savage 101, which will still make a nice companion for my Steven's Favorite. Plus, the Savage is 100% blue and the bore looks perfect. I pulled off on a logging
road on my way back to work from the gun store and plunked three rounds into a target I had.
Already love it.
