revolver, a fixed-caliber Type EM Precision (mid-sized frame)
variation, features an elevation adjustable target blade front and

located on the right side of the hammer, the matching numbered crane and the cylinder easily
removed via the silver release button on the right side of the frame under the manufacturer’s
address, the stylized “Janz” logo and caliber designation machined into the left side barrel flat,
and an importer mark on the underside of the barrel. Fitted with a pair of finger-groove walnut
grips with a single “triangle/Janz” copper medallion. Includes a Janz wood veneered metal hard
case, a Janz screwdriver with two bits inside the handle, and a manual.
