Description
1/27/26 - This is a very nice and original example of the very rare and bizarre Dardick Model 1500 revolver in its original box. The original finish rates at 90% with minor wear concentrated mostly around the high edges of the frame. Small scratches and handling marks here and there. Excellent bore with strong rifling. The gun also comes with a scarce .22 LR carbine attachment for the gun. Also included are seven full original boxes of ammo or "trounds" (with two outer boxes), a few loose "trounds", an original owners manual, and a magazine article that talks about these Dardicks with carbine attachements.
______________
The Dardick 1500 is a very unusual, magazine-fed revolver. It's estimated that only 100-200 were produced before Dardick discontinued early in the 1960s. The concept of this revolver was based on a triangular cartridge, called a "tround", and a 3-chambered, open-sided cylinder. The concept was better suited for a machine gun with a high rate of fire, but Dardick applied the idea to a sidearm. It holds 15 rounds, inside a blind magazine in the grip. It is chambered for .38 caliber, essentially the same ballistics as .38 special. The guns were a complete commercial failure, with low production and lots of functional problems.
