Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Developed in 1894, the Safety Automatic is not an automatic revolver. The word “automatic” refers to the safety mechanism. Imagine that. That safety mechanism was a transfer bar system that kept the hammer from striking the frame-mounted firing pin unless the trigger was pulled. This was one of the first systems of its kind. Iver Johnson's Marketing campaign took to it, billing it as a safer gun that could not be accidentally discharged. This is the modern standard in revolver safety—but Iver Johnson was doing it over 100 years ago. A hammerless version of this handgun was offered and one model even included a trigger safety — much like the one Gaston Glock eventually used many years later.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.

Aesthetically, the guns are all steel with some being finished in blue and others in nickel. The diminutive grips on these guns are either wood or plastic and all feature some mild checkering along with the owl-head stamp that was Iver Johnson’s trademark at the time.
