History
The revolver's name means "fearless" in Hindi. Like the earlier Nirbheek revolver, it was named for the victim of the 2012 Delhi gang rape, whom the Indian press nicknamed "Nirbhaya".
The revolver received 100 orders on the first day after its launch. The manufacturer stated that they expected to sell 10,000 revolvers in 2016.
Design and features
The Nidar revolver is chambered for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. It is made with an aluminium alloy to reduce the weight of the revolver.
The revolver has a conventional double- or single-action trigger.
