Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Iver Johnson was a firearms manufacturer founded in 1871 by Norwegian immigrants Iver Johnson and Martin Bye. The company produced a wide range of firearms, including shotguns, rifles, and handguns. One of the most notable firearms produced by Iver Johnson was the Safety Automatic revolver, which was introduced in 1894. The Safety Automatic revolver was a popular choice for personal protection due to its compact size and reliability. The revolver was designed with a safety mechanism that prevented accidental discharges, which was a major selling point at the time.
The Iver Johnson Safety Automatic revolver was used in one of the most tragic events in American history, the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901. On September 6, 1901, American steelworker and anarchist Leon Czolgosz shot President McKinley with an Iver Johnson .32 caliber Safety Automatic revolver at the Temple of Music in Buffalo, New York. McKinley died nearly eight days later from his injuries. The revolver used in the assassination is currently on display at the Buffalo History Museum in Buffalo, New York. Iver Johnson continued to produce firearms into the mid-20th century, but eventually went out of business in the 1990s. Today, the legacy of Iver Johnson lives on as a testament to the company's contribution to the firearms industry and American history.
