Handguns Descriptions

American Standard Tool Co. Pocket Revolver

American Standard Tool Co., of Newark, New Jersey was making .22 Rimfire Pocket revolvers from 1868 to 1873. About 40,000 of Pocket revolvers were produced. The revolver is a close copy of the S&W First Model, 1st issue .22 revolver and is nearly identical to the .22 caliber revolvers manufactured by the Manhattan Firearms Co. The revolver is top hinged with a ribbed, octagon, barrel, six-shot 12 notch cylinder, spur trigger and pearl grips. The top of the barrel rib is roll-stamped: "AMERICAN STANDARD TOOL CO. NEWARK N-J" in a single line. More common were plain and undecorated Pocket revolvers in blued finish than nickled ones with fine engraving. Those plain, blued Pocket revolver woorth much less today than engraved models.

Beretta 90-TWO

The newly designed frame of 90two pistol ensures trouble-free insertion and holster extraction, thanks to its rounded and truly snag-free surfaces. Inside the frame, near the disassembly lever, a metallic recoil buffer reduces the impact of the slide assembly against the frame during the shooting cycle. By redistributing the stresses, the recoil buffer increases the service life of the firearm. Trigger guard is also rounded to ensure, when firing with two hands, the correct positioning of the supporting hand.
