The S333 Volleyfire is meant for personal protection.<\/p><\/div>\n

Standard Manufacturing’s new S333 Volleyfire<\/a> is a revolver intended for personal protection, but it’s far from your normal EDC gun. This compact gun brings new ideas to the world of everyday\u00a0carry guns, and it makes some intriguing arguments.<\/p>\n

Double-Barreled .22 Mag<\/h2>\n

Standard Mfg.’s double-barreled\u00a0revolver is completely different. First of all, it’s a double-barreled wheel gun. I’ve never heard of a double-barrelled revolver before but this gun makes it seem reasonable. The barrels are side-by-side. The cylinder holds eight rounds, and you could empty all eight in about three seconds.<\/p>\n

The side-by-side barrels are chambered in .22 magnum.<\/p><\/div>\n

The barrels aren’t the only thing doubled. There are two independent firing pins, too. Although revolvers are known for their reliability, even if you had a failure with one chamber or one firing pin, the other would still fire.<\/p>\n

The barrels are each 1.25″ long.<\/p><\/div>\n

You could load the cylinder with .22 mag hollowpoints, but you could also alternate each cylinder with one hollowpoint and one round of birdshot, as suggested by the designer at the booth.<\/p>\n

With each pull of the trigger, you’d not only send a deadly hollowpoint toward your attacker but also a cloud of fine shot. The likelihood of missing a shot with any hognose revolver is high, but the shot would likely make an impact. With eight rounds, firing one of shot and one slug each time you could have a successful deterrent–“a curtain of protection.” That’s an interesting take on personal defense.<\/p>\n

You could empty all 8 round in less than 3 seconds.<\/p><\/div>\n

Double-Fingered Trigger<\/h2>\n

The Volleyfire also features the first Glock-style trigger safety on a revolver and the first two-fingered grip on a trigger. The 9-pound trigger is pretty normal for double action guns, but those with smaller hands or less grip strength will find pulling with two fingers makes the trigger feel much lighter. Interestingly, the trigger must be used with two fingers–if you try to fire with one, then your middle finger interferes with the trigger against the grip.<\/p>\n

The double-finggered trigger is set at 9 pounds, but two fingers make it feel lighter.<\/p><\/div>\n

Is It Safe?<\/h2>\n

The trigger has a very long pull, and combined with the two finger requirement it’s unlikely that you’ll pull the trigger accidentally. There’s a transfer bar between the hammer and the firing pin, as well.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
