Tranter.230 Revolver The Tranter was a revolver invented around 1856 by English firearms designer (1816–1890). Originally operated with a special dual-trigger mechanism (one to rotate the cylinder and cock the gun, a second to fire it) later models employed a single-trigger mechanism much the same as that found in the contemporary. Early Tranter revolvers were generally versions of the various -designed revolver models, of which Tranter had produced in excess of 8000 revolvers by 1853. The first model of his own design used the frame of an Adams-type revolver, with a modification in the mechanism which he had jointly developed with James Kerr. The first model was sold under the name Tranter-Adams-Kerr. Contents • • • • • • Design and operation [ ] The Tranter revolver was a 'solid-frame' design, very similar in appearance to the. Over the course of the 3 models Tranter developed, the only significant change was to the attachment of the ramrod- In the first model it was detachable, on the second model it was attached to the frame by a hook on the fixed barrel, and in the third model (1856) it was attached to the barrel by a screw.
At this point, Tranter revolvers rarely have Adams allocated serial numbers. The 3 rd Model Tranter revolvers had a more permanently attached loading lever, which was secured by a screw. The 3 rd Models appear to have all been produced in the T-suffix Tranter serial number range.

On the double-trigger Tranter revolvers, a second trigger below the trigger guard served to cock the gun. The hammer on this model had no spur and therefore could not be cocked with the thumb. To fire the weapon in the mode, one had to first press the lower trigger, which would pull the hammer back and rotate the cylinder; at this point one could fire the gun with a light pull on the upper trigger. To fire more rapidly, one could pull both triggers simultaneously, making it a double-action weapon. History [ ] With the beginning of the, the demands for foreign weapons in the increased, as the Confederacy no longer had access to the weapons factories in the North and had almost no local small-arms manufacturing capability of their own. At the outbreak of the war, Tranter had a contract with the importing firm Hyde & Goodrich in to import and distribute his revolvers commercially.
Following the outbreak of the Civil War, Hyde and Goodrich dissolved their partnership, and its successors, Thomas, Griswold & Company, and A. Griswold & Company, continued to distribute Tranter's guns. As a reliable, functional, and proven design, Tranter revolvers soon enjoyed a great popularity among the. The Tranter was originally produced in six, with.36,.442, and.50 being the most popular, while Tranter developed an Army model (.44 calibre) and a Navy model (.36 calibre) for the American market.
After the American Civil War, production continued of the Tranter percussion revolver (despite the increasing availability of cartridge-firing designs), because many people thought percussion firearms were safer and cheaper than the 'new-fangled' In 1863, Tranter secured the patent for rimfire cartridges in England, and started production using the same frame as his existing models. As early as 1868, Tranter had also begun the manufacture of centrefire cartridge revolvers. By 1867, his company expanded its production with a new factory in,, under the name 'The Tranter Gun and Pistol Factory'. In 1878, he received a contract from the British Army for the supply of revolvers for use in the. This was the last official use of Tranter revolvers by the British military. Tranter retired in 1885, with his patent rights -Between 1849 and 1888 Tranter secured 24 firearms design patents and 19 cartridge patents- as well as the Tranter factory later being acquired by munitions manufacturer. Kynoch Gun Works [ ] Kynoch renamed the factory 'The Kynoch Gun Works' in 1885 and changed the address on its packaging from Birmingham to the more posh.
The factory's manager, Henry Schlund, held a patent in his own name for a revolver that was similar to the double-action six-cylinder Tranter revolver. The revolver had a one-piece curved wooden grip, a shrouded hammer, a top-break cylinder with star-ejector, and a double trigger. (The first trigger, lying below the trigger guard and pulled with the middle finger, cocked the hammer and advanced the cylinder while the second trigger, which lay inside the trigger guard and was pulled by the ring finger, tripped the sear).
Schlund patented and produced an improved version in 1886 that had the cocking trigger inside the trigger guard.
