The design is based on drafts by Dick Casull and other new developments. All revolvers are single-action and made of rust-proof steel. The drum can only be loaded and unloaded with the drum removed. This is done by removing the drum axle. This then acts as an ejector for the fired cases.
There are various designs available in terms of calibers, barrel lengths and sights. A muzzle loader version is also available.
