The Perfected revolver frame was the same as a 32 Hand Ejector, only with a hinge instead of the solid frame as seen on hand ejectors. The thumb latch worked the same way as with any S&W HE, only you had to do two things at the same time. Lift the top latch and push forward on the thumb latch before opening the gun.
