For all you DARDICK REVOLVER enthusiast's, I found a 7 page article by Captain Monty Mendenhall very informative & the most comprehensive I have read about this short-lived weapon and its ammunition the "Tround" (Triangular round).

It can be found in the latest issue of Small Arms Review, September, 2005 Vol. 8.NO.12. It starts on page 30, and has many illustrations & photographs. As a bonus, he also has a picture of a Johnson Rifle, being loaded with a stripper clip.

I previously knew Melvin Johnson was loosly tied to the Dardick Corporation(previous posts), but learned he was in fact, an engineering consultant to David Dardick(inventor of the Dardick firearm). The article also pointed out numerous similarities, between the Johnson Rifle & the Dardick pistol, which the author credited to influence of Melvin Johnson.
