This video delves into the James Reid No.2 Revolver, a .32 caliber, 7-shot rimfire firearm manufactured in New York City. Before his more famous "My Friend" knuckleduster revolvers, James Reid produced traditional revolvers like this Number 2 pattern. The video highlights that these were made in violation of the Rollin White patent, but due to low production numbers, they did not attract legal attention. Reid cleverly circumvented patent issues by only marking the guns with the names of his wholesale distributors. The description also points out the revolver's effective loading gate system, but notes its cumbersome disassembly process, which requires unscrewing the barrel to remove the cylinder.
