I'm so glad I already bought a model 1882 for a reasonable price before you go and tell everyone how cool they are, but now I also want an 1878 to go with it...

That is one classy looking revolver.

1. How in the HELL did that fire control and sideplate system not survive to the modern era?? That is EPICALLY brilliant!! 2. Auto ejection with a Webley-Fosberry type reciprocating system? Maybe with a bottom-chamber firing Mateba/Chiappa, clockwise rotation, ejecting on the shooter's 7:00? Could be a thing. . . 3. If you're going to have Mae magically appear from a cloud of smoke, at least put a knife in her teeth. XD
