Samp; W M1 revolver
Samp; W M1 revolver, also known as Samp; W No.1 revolver, was the first to adopt metal fixed mounting Revolver with bullets. The gun was designed by American designers Daniel Baird Wesson and Horace Smith in November 1856. They feature Rollin White's patented see-through wheel, making reloading even faster.
The S&W M1 revolver is the first revolver manufactured by S&W Company, using a folding revolver structure. The barrel and bullet nest can rotate around the axis on the runner base to facilitate changing bullets. The rotating magazine can also be removed for easy ejection. Compared with revolvers that use divided ammunition, the S&W M1 revolver can hold up to 7 rounds of ammunition, has a faster loading speed, and is very popular.
After Colt's revolver patent expired, Smith & Wesson began to enter the revolver market. At that time, Colt employee Rollin White held the patent for the transparent wheel, but Colt did not pay enough attention to White, which eventually led to White leaving Colt and working with S&W. For each S&W M1 revolver produced, Smith and Wesson paid White a royalty of $0.25.
The Samp; W M1 revolver has a caliber of 0.22 inches, uses .22 Short ammunition, has a total length of about 170mm, a barrel length of 80mm, can only be used for a single shot, and has an ammunition capacity of 7 rounds. There are three different versions of this gun. A total of 361,000 were produced and were widely used in the American Civil War.
