While it was pre-WWII (and pre-WWI) it did see service in WWII: the Mosin-Nagant revolver. To paraphrase one gun writer, "Its the perfect weapon for your enemies: bad trigger pull, anemic cartridge, and very slow to reload." I used to own one for for awhile... a revolver without an ejector system? Really? So I have to take out a cleaning rod or pencil to poke my empties out? Who thought that was a good idea? (yes I know about how the gas seal makes a silencer work but that's a small benefit...)
