| Octagonal eight-groove rifled barrel in 9.5 mm caliber with a patent breechblock. |
| Crewmen, springs that are too tight can be a bummer, especially if they happen to be the closing springs on your Paladin's breechblock. |
| Lowering the operating lever dropped the breechblock and extracted the spent cartridge. |
| The single-stud extractor that was integral to the breechblock often tore through the folded rim of the early copper cartridges. |
| Cleaning the No.1 is a cinch because the chamber, bore and face of the breechblock are so accessible. |
| The mechanism combines the firing pin, a spring, and an extractor, all housed in a locking breechblock. |
