What’s Included
- U.S. Revolver Automatic Ejector .32 S&W revolver
The Automatic Ejector series combines a top-break hinged frame with a star ejector that activates upon opening, providing rapid case clearance. This example retains its five-shot fluted cylinder and exposed-hammer DA/SA operation, consistent with the model’s original configuration.
Chambered in .32 S&W, it uses a steel frame and steel cylinder. The revolver wears checkered black hard-rubber grips with "U.S." medallions and a round-butt shape. Factory markings read "U.S. REVOLVER CO., MADE IN U.S.A."
Sighting is straightforward, with a fixed front blade and a rear notch integral to the top latch. The serial number is stamped on the underside of the top strap.
Produced as an economy trade name by Iver Johnson, this design uses a hammer-mounted firing pin and does not incorporate a transfer-bar safety, reflecting the construction approach of its era.
