Mod of the Forgotten Weapons community chiming in to explain. Iver Johnson revolvers featured a (at the time) new safety mechanism that prevented the guns from going off when dropped. I wouldn't recommend giving it to a baby though.

More famously they had a "Hammer the Hammer" ad series where they showed this off.

That's not a baby. She's old enough to own at least 2 or 3 guns!

The baby is on the right duh

She was probably teething and they put some opium on her pacifier.

That's a pretty sweet looking revolver though
