Under-hammer (kinda)
« on: October 11, 2020, 04:06:33 PM »
Here is an M. Carlton pistol. The hammer slides forward to hit the nipple and the mainspring is the trigger guard.

This pistol is just as I got it over 30 years ago; it needs some TLC!

Now that's an interesting piece. So the hammer slides forward to strike the cap? It's an early form of striker fired pistol.

I should have included a picture of the barrel; maybe I will soon. It has an extension on the back that slides through a square hole in the trigger assembly. Put trigger assembly in the pistol, slide the barrel through that hole and pin it in place.
