Gun fact: Around 1870 Smith & Wesson was approached by the military attaché for the Russian embassy in Washington, D.C. about a large sale of their no. 3 revolvers to the Russian Imperial Army. Only one thing, the attaché - a guy named Gorloff - had some reservations about the externally-lubricated American .44, so the contract stipulated that Smith & Wesson develop an internally lubricated version of the .44.

@cheeseandonion: Fun Fact: Gorłow jest znany nie tylko z rewolweru S&W No. 3 Russian, ale też ze zmiany w sposobie projektowania amunicji, która przetrwała do dzisiaj. https://milimoto.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/poprawka-gorlowa/
