Revolvers seem like an extremely refined and matured product. I struggle to think of how one would make them much better. Maybe I’m not imaginative enough?

There's been:
- Revolvers that have the barrel at the bottom of the cylinder, so that bore-to-hand position is lower
- Revolvers that have the cylinder in front of the trigger, so that bore-to-hand position is lower
- Self-cocking revolvers, so that every shot is single-action
- Self-ejecting revolvers, so that . . . not sure
- Revolvers of different materials, like polymer, so that weight is reduced
The commercial success of all have been limited to nil, save perhaps Ruger's polymer frame snubbie.
