The third model of the Tranter had its ramrod screwed onto the barrel. The very first Tranters were fitted with detachable ramrods, while the second models had their ramrods fitted via a hook on the frame (underneath the barrel). The other distinguishing feature of the Tranter was the ramrod, whose design was changed frequently. This made the Tranter capable of firing in single action (pulling the lower trigger and then the main trigger) and double action (by pulling both triggers together).Įventually the dual trigger was replaced by a single trigger (while the mechanism became not do dissimilar to the Beaumont-Adams Revolver).
The main trigger (the larger trigger within the trigger guard) would fire the Tranter, while the second trigger (located slightly lower in the guard) would turn the cylinder and cock the hammer (as the first Tranter hammers lacked a spur, meaning cocking it by hand was difficult at best). The Tranter Revolver was, initially, recognised by its destinctive dual trigger mechanism to produce a double action mechanism.
