Description
The RSh-12 revolver complex is a revolver with a solid metal frame and a 5 rounds drum that swings to the left. [9] Due to the fact that the shot is fired from the lower chamber of the drum, [2] the recoil arm of the RS-12 is less than that of many other large-caliber revolvers and pistols. [2] At the trigger trigger trigger type with an open trigger position. Like many revolvers under powerful cartridges, the RSh-12 revolver has a reinforced barrel casing, which is equipped with ventilation holes. Above the barrel and under the barrel, rail systems of the Picatinny type [2] are provided for the installation of all kinds of sights, flashlights, LTC , etc. [5]
To ensure a small recoil shoulder and, as a result, to reduce the barrel toss, the RS-12 revolver does not shoot from the upper chamber of the drum, but from the lower, the same technical solution was used in the OTs-38 revolver of engineer Stechkin .
