20-Shot Revolver
This is a unique single-action revolver patented by Henry S. Josselyn in 1866. Information on this gun is scarce, but it would appear to fire twenty rounds without reloading simply by cycling a new round on the flexible chain after each discharge. At least one example of this firearm is retained by the Smithsonian Institution.http://hellinahandbasket.net/?p=5849 | Patent Information | Photo: American Heritage Magazine

It would be a little difficult to get into a holster.

Seems like it would be better for rifle applications.
