The Enfield MkI, adopted in 1880, was the British military's first interchangeable revolver, designed by Owen Jones and featuring a unique forward-sliding cylinder for extraction. Despite its innovative design, it suffered from a significant safety flaw discovered in 1886, leading to a retrofitted hammer safety. It used the .455 Enfield cartridge, considered underpowered compared to American contemporaries.
