Hopkins & Allen

Grips for H&A top break and solid frame revolvers may fit other brands which, at some point, were actually manufactured by Hopkins & Allen. The H&A factory made a staggering number of trade-branded guns, and in turn was itself controlled by a majority stockholder whose name, Merwin & Hulbert, was applied to a special series of guns that were made by H&A, yet considered by most to be a completely separate line. Some of the M&H guns were basically the same as the H&A, Forehand, and other top break or solid frame revolvers, but these are largely overshadowed and all but forgotten now.

The unique "turn and pull" ejection system used on the later M&H branded guns, although built by H&A, sets them apart. Hopkins and Allen followed a long tradition of building guns for the low and middle price range, leaving the high end market to Colt and S&W. Yet their guns were sometimes outstanding in quality: some of the Forehand models and all of the Frontier and New Army and Pocket Army Merwin & Hulbert revolvers rank among the best ever built.

Unfortunately, Merwin & Hulbert were primarily a distributor of guns with more interest in taking profits out of H&A than in nurturing the business. A series of events, including poor payment and collections, a factory fire that destroyed H&A's main plant, and political events in Europe that resulted in cancellation of a large order eventually caused the demise of H&A and all of the brands they manufactured.
