Earlier this year I was at a gun show and saw an old S&W with a two-part trigger. I looked very close to what a current Glock trigger looks like. I was telling a polymer loving friend of mine about the little revolver and he did not believe me. I almost bought the little revolver but the seller was asking a lot for it.

Can someone please tell me about that revolver and post a picture if possible? I love making Glock fans eat crow.

Thanks in advance for the help,

I have never seen such a thing.

Are you sure it was a S&W, or did it take a S&W cartridge? It sounds a lot like a Belgian VeloDog revolver with a hinged trigger.

Maybe something like this?

There were dozens and dozens of similar designs.

You are not talking about the Sigma SW380 pistol, are you?

These early safety trigger revolvers WERE NOT S&W products. They were made by one of the cheaper companies. IJ, H&R or one of them. Can't remember which one.

I think you are looking for the original Sigma in 9 or 40. They had a hinged trigger. Try the semi auto forum here for more info. Good luck.

Iver Johnson made a top break revolver w/
a safety built into the trigger similar to
a glock. I have one that belonged to an aunt
of a friend of mine, 32 short, 6" barrel,
nickel plated w/ box. Will did it out this
weekend and try to send picture next week if
you still need one.

To see an old Iver Johnson w/ safety trigger.

Second from top.

Thanks everyone, I think Watsumoto got it right.

The Iver Johnson must have been mis-marked as an S&W. I was only able to find one picture one the web and the little trigger safety thing is barely visible in the picture. But at least now I have some photographic proof that Glock did not invent that trigger design.

Watsumota, thank you for the info. I hate to ask someone to go out of their way but if you would not mind sharing some photos of this neat revolver I sure would love to see it. I am sure others here would as well.

Here is a link to one I found on line

Thanks again,

PS the link you posted gave a 404 when I clicked it but I did a little digging and I think this is the link you referred to (the J-6469):
