InRange is supported by viewers like you: The Rollin White patent on bored through revolver cylinders for breach loading put a strangle hold on the firearms industry, with only Smith Wesson being able to manufacture modern breach loading cartridge revolvers. Colt came out with the Thuer cartridge conversion, which loads from the front but still used center fire cartridges, in a way to avoid violating the Rollin White patent.
