It is the Semmerling .45. It was a small(basically palm sized) .45 ACP. The gun used a magazine that held four or five rounds and the odd thing was that you had to manually cycle the action for each round. If I recall, you fired a round then pushed the slide forward to eject and chamber the next round. The gun was hammerless and designed to be a back up or hideout gun. I don't think it stayed on the market for more than a couple years. I remember reading about it in Guns and Ammo back in the mid to late '70s or maybe very early '80s. It was around about the same time as the C.O.P. 357 derringer if anyone remembers that one. There is an interesting article on Wikipedia about the gun.
