Sunday Gunday: History of Pinfire Cartridges

Loading and Reloading Pinfire Shotshells; and an Original Patent Manuscript by Casimir Lefaucheux

This Eugène Lefaucheux pinfire revolver uses a rare 1862 “triple-action” mechanism. It can be fired in single action, conventional double action, or cocked by the trigger to half or full cock before release. All three are part of the same system. A refined example of mid-nineteenth-century revolver development. #AntiqueFirearms #FirearmsHistory #Lefaucheux #Revolver #19thCentury | The Lefaucheux Museum
