The n,ew 7-shot Colt pistol is a marvel of force and mechanical 
ingenuity. It works automatically, the recoil of one discharge 
adjusting the load for the next instantaneously. The whole 
magazine can be discharged in a fraction over a second. 
The Union Metallic Cartridge Company has just perfected a new 
22cal. smokeless cartridge for short range target shooting in rifle 
cr pistol. This cartridge is said to be effective up to a distance 
of 75ft.
