Locate the latch, usually a T-Shaped lever with knurled surfaces on each end of the stem of the T. This is located above the hammer. Grasp the knurled surfaces with thumb and forefinger and lift up with a rotating motion. While holding this up and clear of the frame, use the heel of your hand to press the barrel downward, brasking the gun open. Some guns, other than Iver Johnson, have a thumb latch activated by the thumb, pushing forward on the thumb latch. Opening the top-break revolver the extractor will automatically raise as the barrel is lowered. Opening the gun full, the extractor will snap back down for loading cartridges into the cylinder.
