This video explores the Rollin White Single Shot Pistol in .38 Rimfire, a unique firearm developed during the Civil War era. Rollin White, known for patenting the bored-through cylinder, had licensed this technology exclusively to Smith & Wesson. To circumvent this agreement and capitalize on wartime demand, White designed this single-shot pistol. The video details its design, which mimics a Smith & Wesson revolver but features a single-shot tip-out breechblock. It contrasts the limited production of the large-frame .38 Rimfire model (200-300 units) with the more successful smaller .32 Rimfire version (3,000 units), suggesting the larger caliber was less practical for a single-shot firearm.
