This video explores the unique Dardick Model 1500, a rare magazine-fed revolver conceived in the 1950s by David Dardick. It features an unusual triangular cartridge, or 'tround,' and a distinctive open-sided cylinder. The description details the limited production of the Model 1500 (40-100 units) and its more compact Model 1100 variant, along with a carbine adapter. Despite its innovative design, the Dardick 1500 was a commercial failure due to functional issues, but its scarcity and mechanical peculiarity make it a highly collectible item for firearms enthusiasts today.
