Blank Firing Revolvers
Blank Firing Revolvers
A blank revolver is the classic starting pistol and the classic western film prop, and the models here cover both jobs. The single action pattern with a loading gate and an ejector rod is the one that reads as a Peacemaker on screen, while the double action models with a swing out cylinder are the ones used as starter pistols at athletics events.
Revolver blanks are usually supplied in a plastic or brass case with a crimped end, and the cylinder of a blank revolver has a blind chamber with a vent. That means the gas escapes through the side of the frame rather than down the barrel, so keep fingers away from the cylinder gap: the blast there is hot enough to burn.
