It says both. "101 Single Action Safety Single Shot Pistol"

My mistake, that's what I get for only reading half the words.

I'm well practiced at looking like an idiot, though

I have one of 101 , its small and I like it fun and a good pistol to start people on for their first time users

How does that thing work? Looks like you twist the cylinder, load a round, and twist it back into place under the hammer? Kinda like a regular single action revolver, but the cylinder can only turn 1/6 of a turn in either direction?

I had 4 gave them to grandkids a few years back except one and will eventually end up going the same way. Super safe the 101 is a masterpiece

Yes, the barrel turns slightly one way. The second to the last picture is "open" and ready to load. Drop a shell in, twist it shut and shoot. It is about as simple and basic as they gets.

Never seen one of those.

That's different. So only one chamber on the cylinder? Just rocks out, doesn't rotate via a pawl?

That is correct. One chamber in the cylinder. Basically, that the barrel swings off to the side to load and eject. The hammer and trigger are the only other moving parts.

Another amazing day on Tman. Sometimes you learn something

Bought mine when i turned 21 paid around 25 bucks new It was marketed as a kids gun If you look down the cylinder from the front you will see what loo0ks like loaded rounds still have the box and paperwork

I had a Stevens Trapper Special single shot 22. I shot shorts, longs, and long rifles in it. I got it from my grandpa years ago. He gave it to me. I gave it to my nephew who is an avid hunter and I knew would really appreciate it.

A neighbor kid had one. I had an Ithaca M49 lever at the same time. Amazing how many rounds we put through those single shots !

I had a friend who had one in high school. While we were practicing our "quick draws", he managed to nick himself in the leg with it. I was able to do the same to myself at a later date with a Ruger single six. I no longer practice "quick draws".

I like the Idea of a single shot pistol, but my logical brain keeps asking "why a cylinder for one shot?"

You had a friend?

To look just like Dad's would be my guess.

exactly. Because wheelguns, like leverguns, are just cooler than the rest.

watch this and it will make WAY more sense how this worked , the barrel and cylinder are one , just cast or machined to look like a barrel and cyclinder

You know speaking of single shot, break barrel pellet guns are pretty nifty as well. I'd don't care as much for the kind you have to pump up a bunch.
