👉 The Raleigh Weapon, also known as the Raleigh Revolver, is an innovative handgun design introduced in the late 19th century by John Raleigh, a gunsmith and inventor. It features a unique "flip-up" action mechanism that allows the user to easily access the hammer and trigger while simultaneously holding the weapon in a secure grip. This design eliminates the need for a traditional slide, making it more compact and lightweight compared to conventional revolvers. The Raleigh Weapon's distinctive appearance and ergonomic design made it popular among law enforcement and hunters, particularly in the Southern United States, and it remains a notable example of ingenuity in firearm engineering.
