Aplo is correct. It had separate cylinders for .38 WCF & 10 mm. Unlike the .41 Magnum & 10mm the .38WCF and 10 mm cartridges us the same diameter bullets.

It matters not which compass point the barrel is pointed towards, in the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis force will cause the bullet to drift in a clockwise direction. From the shooter's perspective it will drift to the left. That was accounted for while firing battleship projectiles and in the design of later 19th century rifle volley sights. It is plainly visible in the U.S. 1873 .45-70 Trap Door rifle sight. However, Hollywood actors holding their pistols side ways while pretending to be gangsters might get by without adjusting for the Coriolis force.
