This is a modern double action revolver for police or commercial use. It is a re-work of the earlier Cadix model to conform the US 1968 Gun Control Act, the essential change being the adoption of a transfer bar mechanism to prevent the hammer striking the firing pin unless the the trigger is correctly pulled through. The front sight has a larger ramp, the trigger-guard is somewhat more smoothly streamlined and the hammer was made larger. The back sight is adjustable and the mainspring can be regulated for strenght of hammer blow. It can be found with a 152 mm barrel.
