Manufactured circa 1958-1962, the Dardick 1100 uses a novel combination of a fixed in-grip magazine, an open-sided auto-ejecting three chamber cylinder and a proprietary plastic-cased triangular cartridge dubbed the "tround". This combination permits an ammunition capacity in line with an automatic pistol while retaining the simple reliability of a revolver. Additionally, the barrel is secured with a single threaded bolt and can be rapidly detached or swapped. Unlike the model 1500, the 1100 was only available in .38 caliber. Included with the revolver is a large number of small parts and two boxes of the iconic Dardick trounds.
