I came across this neat old Iver Johson snubbie for sale online and I just love the lines of it, which got me thinking (always dangerous)....
Why are there no modern top-break revolvers? I understand that a sold frame is stronger but it would still seem like there could be a market for a top break in something less than full magnum chamberings.
For example, take a look at that little Iver Johson and imagine a modern alloy and stainless incarnation along the lines of the S&W 642 but even smaller, perhaps loaded in .32 ACP with five-round moon clips.
From the point of view of shootability and reliability, I'd actually prefer something like that to most .32 auto pistols.
How about it?
