The Sign of Four, set in 1888 and published 1890 so feasible. I always got the impression that Doyle enjoyed firearms but was far from expert, so mentioning a 6-year-old technology that he's seen in a magazine, gun shop or pistol range so casually in one of his novels, assuming that the technology is either wider-spread or commonly-known than in reality, would be consistent with that. EDIT: correction, it's The Adventure of the Dancing Men, published 1905. Feasibly an automatic pistol, but mentioned specifically as a revolver.

Wow.. what a totally awesome ejecting system. That is crazy slick. As Ian kind of mentions. Totally "tactical" but does it really do anything? Exactly! The entire point of crazy tactical stuff! So cool. All that effort and engineering, when a little later a drop out cylinder is invented. DOOH!

For anyone curious (since KZitem has forced channels like this to stop "advertising" guns), the first gun sold for $2,875 and the engraved gun sold for $4,600. That $4,600 is seemingly a good deal since that exact gun (with case) sold for $7,157 in December of 2016 at a Bonhams auction in London.

Snazzy, sure I would prefer a swing out or break action for easy cylinder access, but if I was stuck with a fixed cylinder and a loading gate this looks like a nice quality of life modification. Wonder how well this translate to other models, could I take a modern Colt SAA replica to a competent gunsmith and tell them to replicate this system for example.
@camelthegamer7165

I'm not sure if the patent is still viable but the system looks like you'd have a hell of a time finding someone who could recreate it. Personally, this gun is a nice joke, it's even interesting.

This would make zero since on a single action revolver, cocking the hammer would take just as much time as advancing the cylinder by hand and using the ejector.
