As for the theory that no one knows what a hand ejector revolver is, I send you to every gun catalog, colector guide, or to the Neal & Jinks bible that names almost every solid frame revolver as a 22, 32, 38, 44, 45, or 455 Hand Ejector.

No argument there except you're back to experts and aficionados and collectors and when it comes to catalogs that's pretty much a less than average place for finding terminology. I was referring to the rest of the English speaking, shooting public.

So, from an expert's technical perspective I give all props to glowe. From an American shooter's perspective using normative American English I think I win.
