new spin on the old pepperbox

a "new" design by leinad that is a top break .22lr with a removable, manually rotated cylinder.  rather bizarre, but could be useful.  i'm wondering how the cylinder finds alignment with the hammer?

Hmmmm, I would hazard to guess "With your off-hand"?

I'm surprised Taurus hasn't made one in .410. :)

Leinad makes, or made, a 5 shot .45Colt/.410 model.  Given one, I can imagine a few fun plinking sessions followed by a sale.

I guess so, but what locks it in position?

Reminds me of their earlier Cobray Pocket Pal. Although that was a really odd duck with a switchable three shot .380 revolving cylinder that fired out the top fixed barrel, or a five shot .22LR one that fired out the bottom.

My guess is that the knurling on the aft section of the cylinder/barrel engages the inner corners of the two frame rails. Leinad's don't have solid frames -- they're two pieces of flat steel with a spacer between them.

^^i'm leaning towards a detent ball that engages the front of the 6 oclock chamber.
