Pics or it didn't happened.
And what is your argument on your first statement?

Glorious but flawed design. Loved the aesthetics of a WWI Webley British officer's side-arm.
Fundamentally weak frame. Yours looks like a bit of a beater

>flawed design
define flawed desing
> beater
I would take it as if you mean it is a tough gun
>>32870417
>define flawed desing
Joint in frame, weakness is hinge and latch.
And no, by a beater I meant it's beaten up and in poor condition
Fits good in the mouth
I enjoy the aesthetic of top breaks. Back in their day, they were an inherently weaker design than traditional revolvers, but modern metallurgy means that reproductions don't really have that problem.

forgot to add;
a swing-out cylinder has a complete and continuous frame of metal around the cylinder to absorb the pressure of the loads, allowing greater load pressure for the weight.

A hinge and latch will never be as strong as a continuous steel frame and will always be heavier, strength for strength
I found one at a thrift store marked antique toy gun for $5

no one cares about your shitty $30 hi point of its day OP, give it a rest

Nice score.

And? Sedans will always have less body flex than coupes but you don't see any coupes with wet noodle S chassis tier flex anymore.
>>32871550
>coupes
To be pedantic, you mean convertibles, as coupes have a fixed roof as per sedans
>coupe - a closed two-door car body style with a permanently attached fixed roof, that is shorter than a sedan
I get your point, but what I say is still true. There is also potential hinge wear and the latching mechanism needs to be reliable and sturdy, otherwise things could get exciting when the trigger is pulled
This thread is an interesting read with a common theme - suitable for low-pressure rounds only

As I was reading, and I was absorbing it all... all I really heard in my head was bla bla bla bla bla
>potential hinge wear
wait wut?

The picture you posted is the hammer, not the hinge.
And if you absorbed the article, you've have been hearing the words in the page in your head; "blah blah blah" implies you weren't paying attention.
But as you have so far confused hammers and hinges; coupes and convertibles, I think out discourse ITT is over.

Why do you keep posting your shitty gun? We've already had like two previous threads about it, are you that fucking excited about a dime-a-dozen top break revolver?
>>32870417
Beater means beat up gun who's condition you don't exactly care about. They work and that's all that is needed
The gun cylinder clicks like clock, when turned. I'm pretty happy with it.
It's sturdy, and it's the only one I found with it's original 137 years old grips

>137 years old
Doubtful. It looks like a 3rd Model, meaning it was built sometime between 1909 and 1941.
