			:The problem with top-break revolvers is that the top latch is the weakest point in the design, making it prone to popping open from the force of recoil when fired. This isn't much of a problem with the lower-pressure cartridges originally used with the design, but higher-pressure cartridges would indeed cause it to pop open when fired. Fixed-cylinder and swing-out cylinder revolver designs don't have this problem because the recoil is distributed across the entire frame, and as you've learned, changing the reload mechanism requires so much work as to be not worth it. The last serious attempt to make a top-break revolver in a high-pressure cartridge was the [[MP-412 REX]], which used .357 Magnum, but it was never made commercially available. A pity, because a top-break revolver is ambidextrous by design, and using moon clips would make it very fast to reload.--[[User:Mazryonh\|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh\|talk]]) 05:40, 21 November 2013 (EST)
