1. In a revolver, the combination comprising: a frame having a recess therein; a crane pivotally mounted upon the frame for movement about a longitudinally extending axis between a closed and an open position; a longitudinal tube integral with the crane and extending from a side thereof; a cylinder having a plurality of circumferentially spaced chambers adapted to receive cartridges and a centrally disposed, axially extending passage adapted to receive the tube such that the cylinder is rotatable thereabout and axially slideable thereover, the cylinder lying with the recess in the closed position of the crane, and lying without the recess in the open position of the crane; a displaceable ejector seated at one end of the cylinder for ejecting spent cartridges therefrom; an axially extending stem integral with the ejector movably mounted within the passage such that the tube is interposed between the stem and the wall of the passage when the passage receives the tube; means to bias the ejector into the seated position; and a longitudinally extending projection integral with the crane, the projection being receivable within the passage for contacting the stem and urging the ejector away from the seated position to thereby eject the spent cartridges from the chambers.
