Dang!!! I knew it was a good question but really? Mike ***** Reckon that little “flipper” causes the bolt to drop----from locking the cylinder----as the hammer is cocked. Perhaps a complication to skirt Ruger’s New Model transfer bar patent, still in effect. Which still doesn’t explain it, since Sig Himmelmann had an agreement with Bill Ruger. David Bradshaw

Thanks Mr. Bradshaw. I did some searching around and saw another setup with a "flipper" but it was in an Abilene I believe. Then I realized it's for a different purpose so . . I just know the Colt, Remington and Ruger platforms don't have it so I'll never have to fool with one but I was just curious . . .
Thanks again, Mike

Ok, what is the purpose of a "flipper"? Edumacate me!! Mike It contacts the hammer plunger pin and drops the bolt. John Himmelmann always called it the "flipper". I guess the name stuck. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time"

I found this thread sufficiently interesting to search out and read the Ruger patent. Interestingly there is no mention of a transfer bar however there is a key component referred to as a "trigger bar". Admittedly there is language to the effect of the trigger bar transferring energy to the firing pin so perhaps that is the origin of the terminology. Nonetheless there is no mention of a transfer bar in the patent.

You say " trigger bar" I say "transfer bar" . . . (it's attached to the trigger no matter what)
