When did swing out cylinders come into play?

[Rube Burrows]

Well like the title says. Me and my dad were curious when they first started to come into play. Can anyone help me out?
Make and model, year?

S & W 32 Hand Ejector First Model DA 1896 & 38 Hand Ejector M&P 1st Model 1899

Thanks, me and my dad were trying to figure out what pistol Penolopee Cruz uses in Banditas. It has a swing out cylinder like that and we were just wondering.

Pistols? What Pistols? They don't need no Stinkin' Pistols.

Salma Hayek has a pair of 36's

I know huh. I didnt see the pistols at first either. They are hard to see but as my dad pointed out to me, they are there. I know Salma has some 36s but we could not figure out what Cruz has. It was just one of those trivial things we were wondering

When I first seen it I didnt care if they were toting rubberband guns around. I was just in awe of them two dressed up like they Banditas    but did start realizing later that they were toting real guns. lol

Not anything to do with the movie, I have a Moore pistol that has a sort of swing out cylinder, barrel swings with it. This is a 32 rim fire made by Moore and marked made for Smith and Wesson. The little button next to the hammer releases the cylinder and barrel. It is a 7 shooter. Moore's introduced it's pistol in 1861 but the following year lost a patent infringement suit with S&W over the bored through cylinder.
