This video examines the second variation of the Porter Turret Rifle, a unique firearm patented in 1851. The rifle features a vertical turret cylinder, differing from traditional revolvers. The second variation, manufactured in New York, includes notable improvements such as a grip safety, flash hole guards, a serpentine loading lever, and an updated primer feeding system. The description highlights the rarity and potential dangers of these designs, including the risk of chain fires, which ultimately contributed to the dominance of mainstream revolvers.
