Nifty looking little shooter.

We have the blued version of that and it is a really fun gun. My kids enjoy as do I. Never going to be sold and picked up from a local store.
I was referring to the droopy-looking nature of the *crescent* ejector rod button that they did on purpose. Looks..... unfinished to me.That short ejector stroke is why I prefer to shoot .22 Shorts in my Shopkeeper.
I bought mine used a few years ago on a Father's Day sale at a LGS when prices weren't ludicrous.

Aha - then completely functional. Thanks for the explanation.Gotcha. Yep, that was to clear the cylinder's center pin to gain that extra 1/8" of ejector stroke. And also to allow easier center pin removal as the center pin would hit a standard ejector button when pulling straight out.
Sometimes it's best not to look at that side of the gun.
