I hope they work out and hold up. I too like that idea of 9 shot and interchangeable cylinders.

I can't figure out what the function of the ejector rod is on that gun. It doesn't look like it would need one, but there is a housing and some sort of spring-loaded plunger out towards the end of the barrel.

Pull forward to unlatch the cylinder. Swing out and push back to eject empties just like any other double action revolver.

Actually it's a double action, made to resemble a "cowboy gun" or single action. The forward placement of the trigger is a giveaway on the double action bit.

I remember those High Standard revolvers, they did quite a range of models, Buntline Special to birds head grips. 8)
I like the look of this one, if only the UK government would relax the handgun law I would be à customer for sure...
