In late 1907 S&W did almost everything right with the introduction of their first swing-out cylindered big-bore sixgun, the 1st Model Hand Ejector (also known as the "New Century" and more lovingly known by sixgunners for over a century, as the Triple-Lock.) This revolver's cylinder locked at the back, at the front of the ejector rod, and a third lock beautifully machined at the front of the cylinder in the yoke/frame area.
