The Union automatic revolver was an American automatic revolver designed by Charles F. Lefever in 1908 and produced from 1909 to 1912 by the Union Firearms Company in very limited numbers.
History[]
The revolver was designed by Charles F. Lefever and began production in 1909 and ended in 1912, marking Union Firearms Company's exit from the handgun market. It was marketed around the same time as the Union automatic pistol. The revolver was considered a commercial failure with only about 300 made due to the cost of production being too high.
Design Details[]
The Lefever is an automatic revolver similar in design to the Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver with a shrouded hammer.
