Smith and Wesson 500 magnum revolver
Look on the butt of the revolver.
For a Smith and Wesson revolver in stainless steel that shoots short bullets, you might need a 380 caliber pistol or a S&W 32 caliber revolver.
A revolver is louder than a pistol due to the barrel-cylinder gap that is located between the cylinder face and forcing cone of a revolver.
If you are speaking of a K frame revolver it was 1961.
No way to answer without more details.
No. While Dan Wesson DID make a .44 Magnum revolver, it was not known as a Desert Eagle. IMI made a .44 magnum Desert Eagle Auto pistol, but not a revolver.
1832.Samuel Colt first attempted to patent a revolver in the US in 1832. UK Patent #6909 was his first successful revolver patent: it was issued in 1835.1836Samuel Colt's first U. S. patent was patent No. 1304, dated August 29, 1836. This patent protected the basic design of his revolving-breech loading, folding trigger firearm named the Paterson pistol. Previous to his American patent he had been awarded a patent in England (1935) for the same design.1836Samuel Colt invented the first revolver, a gun named after its inventor "Colt", and after its revolving cylinder "revolver". In 1836, Samuel Colt was granted a U.S. patent for the Colt revolver, which was equipped with a revolving cylinder containing five or six bullets and an innovative cocking device.
The .22 Short, was developed for Smith and Wesson's first revolver , in 1857.
only a pistol is an semi-automatic. revolvers are not semi auto. A "pistol" is a generic term to refer to ANY handgun, revolver or Semi-automatic. Wrong! Only some one completely unfamiliar with hand guns nomenclature would call a revolver a pistol. A revolver is commonly referred to as: "revolver, wheel gun or shooter (short for 6 shooter)." A semi automatic is commonly referred to as: "semi auto or pistol."
He applied for the patent in 1835 and received it on 25 February 1836
