Hmm. Made by a state-run factory and costs two thousand dollars, for a 32. It wouldn’t be popular here either. The article is super vague. I assume it’s a DA, by the position of the trigger and the space behind it, but you’d never get a “journalist” to even think about that question, or understand that there is a question there about which to think.
They say that few women have ordered the gun, compared to men, because the license is hard to get. Does that mean women have more barriers to overcome in getting a license, compared to men’s licenses? They don’t say, but the wording suggests it. That’s a pretty big deal to just leave hanging like that.
That revolver sort of reminds me of a Lada or Izh. Let the government design it and it’ll have all the features of yesteryear and all the draw backs of economy you expect. Plus, the ergonomics will be from the 19th century, so there’s that. The pamphlet almost writes itself.
‘This pistol was almost all the rage a century ago. Buy it now for the low, low price of too much money, because you can’t get anything else.’

What Lyle said… $2k for a .32 that looks like it was issued during the Spanish American War.

@ Lyle:
In the video (about 1:30) the lady cocks the hammer back, so yes, DA.
As far as licensing (and gun ownership in general) goes, this guy’s page is pretty good:
