This video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the Hopkins & Allen XL-6 Revolver, highlighting its unique swing-out cylinder mechanism. The description details how this feature, patented by Samuel Hopkins and previously used by Bacon Firearms, was implemented by Hopkins & Allen after the Rollin White patent expired. The revolvers were typically simple rimfire pocket guns from the 1870s and 1880s, chambered in cartridges like .22 rimfire and .41 rimfire. The video explores the historical context of this design, including patent disputes and the formation of Hopkins & Allen.
