Didn't Hugo Borchardt spend time in America? perhaps thats where he got the idea !?[/QUOTE]

Of course....He worked for the Winchester Repeating Arms Co...and seems that he developed a Revolver , which purpose was to force Colt to cease production of rifles...[/QUOTE]

I was surprised by your comment as I have never heard of a Borchardt revolver!? But your right, and here is as good an explanation as any on the topic. http://www.airlandseaweapons.com/blo...oading-pistol/
