Handguns Descriptions
Beretta 90-TWO
The newly designed frame of 90two pistol ensures trouble-free insertion and holster extraction, thanks to its rounded and truly snag-free surfaces. Inside the frame, near the disassembly lever, a metallic recoil buffer reduces the impact of the slide assembly against the frame during the shooting cycle. By redistributing the stresses, the recoil buffer increases the service life of the firearm. Trigger guard is also rounded to ensure, when firing with two hands, the correct positioning of the supporting hand.
Merwin Hulbert Second Model Frontier Army SA
The 2nd Model Frontier Army revolvers were manufactured between about 1878 and 1882. These desirable single action revolvers were an improvement on the initial Merwin, Hulbert & Company Frontier Army, with most of the changes being in the lock work design. The 2nd Models retained the scooped cylinder flutes and open top frame (without a top strap) of the 1st Model guns, and are highly sought after by collectors, especially those with the early production mottled orange and brown composite grips such as the ones seen on this example. The left side of the frame has no caliber marking under the cylinder, indicating the pistol is chambered for the .44 Merwin & Hulbert cartridge. The revolvers chambered for .44 Russian were marked Russian Model and the ones chambered in .44-40 were marked Caliber / Winchester 1873. The .44 Merwin & Hulbert cartridge was comparable to Smith & Wesson’s 44 American cartridge, but had a slightly longer case. The top of the 7 round barrel is marked: MERWIN HULBERT & C0. New York, U.S.A. Pat. Jan, 24. Apr. 21. Dec. 15. 74. Aug 3. 75. July 11. 76. Apr. 17. 77. Pat’s Mar. 6, 77. . The left side of the barrel is also marked in a single line: THE HOPKINS & ALLEN Manufacturing Co. Norwich, Conn. U.S.A. .
