To fire more rapidly, one could pull both triggers simultaneously, making it a double-action weapon. To fire the weapon in the single-action mode, one had to first press the lower trigger, which would pull the hammer back and rotate the cylinder at this point one could fire the gun with a light pull on the upper trigger. ![]() The hammer on this model had no spur and therefore could not be cocked with the thumb. On the double-trigger Tranter revolvers, a second trigger below the trigger guard served to cock the gun. Over the course of the 3 models Tranter developed, the only significant change was to the attachment of the ramrod- In the first model it was detachable, on the second model it was attached to the frame by a hook on the fixed barrel, and in the third model (1856) it was attached to the barrel by a screw. The Tranter revolver was a "solid-frame" design, very similar in appearance to the Beaumont–Adams revolver.
