Are the cartridges center-fire or rim-fire? If center-fire, it doesn't look like the hammer hits the center of the cartridges when fired. Please explain.


EDIT: Ignore my comment above because I found the answer on Wikipedia. The cartridge is a .41 caliber rim-fire. That now makes sense and I understand how it works with those cams that cause the hammer to strike the upper cartridge or the lower cartridge. It's a brilliant design!

Oh i love this one, definitely one of the guns of all time!

That's right! Early models were rimfire.
Later, centerfire models were also produced, but since the hammer did not strike the center, the firing pin was separate.

The compact and sophisticated design is attractive.
