How the No2 Revolver Lost its Hammer Spur (A Correction & A Story)
This video corrects a previous assertion about the No2 Revolver's design changes. The creator clarifies that the removal of the hammer spur and single-action capability was not due to tank crew issues with hatches, as was previously believed. Instead, documented evidence indicates the decision in 1938 was primarily for simplified handling and training, with minimal practical effectiveness loss. The video also discusses the origin of the misinformation, tracing it back to a historical publication and a Pattern Room curator, and highlights how even seemingly obvious clues (like an open-topped holster) can lead to incorrect conclusions without further investigation.
