This Gun Fires Triangular Cartridges! Is a 20-Shot Revolver! Can Be Loaded While Firing! Comes With Two Barrel Sizes! Can Be Converted To a Rifle!
THE revolutionary new Dardick open chamber revolver is as versatile as a six-armed monkey. It comes with two different sized barrels, converts from a pistol to a rifle, fires 20 triangular cartridges, ejects fired cases and can be loaded while firing. The double-action, semiautomatic gun uses the special .38 or .22 Dardick cartridge or, with a simple adapter, any standard ammunition. Open chamber ejection makes it possible to build lighter and faster firing weapons that are more reliable at less cost than standard guns.

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Re: The Dardick revolver of the 50's
i would like to know more about the action.
Is action leading to jams etc a reason it never took off or is it the triangular bullets?
Very interesting.

Re: The Dardick revolver of the 50's
The action of the gun did include a sort of revolving part, although it did not work like the cylinder we all know from our typical revolvers. With each pull of the trigger, it rotated 120 degrees, twisting a cartridge out of the clip and into firing position, while dropping the previous spent case out of a door in the side.

Re: The Dardick revolver of the 50's
Very interesting. But wont the 120 degree spin take more time as compared to current one. 120 degree turn is pretty decent movement.
