This video showcases the A. Noël-designed 10-shot pocket turret revolver, manufactured by Gouery, Canat et Cie in Paris in 1865. Chambered in .28 caliber, this remarkably svelte pistol features a folding double-action trigger, making it a historical example of compact firearm design for gentlemen of the era. The video notes its pellet-primer ignition system, a relatively older technology by the time of its patent, and estimates a production run of around 500 units. The presenter suggests its eventual decline in popularity was likely due to the emergence of more modern firearm systems.
