This revolver is a simplified version of triple action: the mechanism lost are arise-trigger and its stem of transmission, the hammer with lost its peak. The tail of trigger is articulated without trigger guard.
The stick is rounder and does not comprise a ring.
A spring in the shape of arc screwed in periphery of the breech makes it possible to raise the nose of the hammer which, cut down, would block the rotation of the barrel by the possible pins of the cartridges.
