This video showcases Portugal's Model 1886 Trooper's Model Abadie Revolver, highlighting Isaac Abadie's innovative gate-loading system. This mechanism, which disconnected the hammer when the loading gate was opened, significantly sped up the reloading process for solid-frame revolvers until the advent of swing-out cylinders. Portugal was an early adopter of this technology, first issuing an officer's model in 1878 and later expanding to a longer-barreled cavalry version in 1886. Approximately 12,000 Abadie revolvers were produced for Portugal across both models. The video notes their scarcity in the US and thanks Mike Carrick of Arms Heritage Magazine for access to the featured example. A C&Rsenal episode on the Portuguese use of these revolvers is also recommended for further details.
