Sorry, the gun is back at my fathers house and I didn't take pictures of the action. Perhaps someone else here can provide one.

It works like this: For loading You put the gun at half cock and open the loading gate on the side. It loads just like a Single action Colt. To eject the empty shells you pull the little button in front of the triggerguard back, then twist the barrel sideways on the cylinder pin and pull it forward. There is a little shoulder on the recoil shield that holds the shells in place and the empties fall out of the gun. Any loaded cartridges still in the cylinder are held in place by the bullet.
To remove the barrel entirely you just press the little button forward of the cylinder and it pulls right off. I think this is the most ingenious revolver system ever devised. In seconds you can swap barrels with no tools.
