"If I might be allowed to surmise you are pondering the question regarding the less than clear fact that I would have fired five or six shots. I do feel obliged to inform you by this that this present firearm being a .450 calibre Webley-based revolver by Silver & Fletcher of London, being by all accounts a weapon of substantial potency, in which I go as far as venture that it might very well be the most effective against most common targets it is aimed at and fired upon. This effect for all purposes and intent would be most likely to cause a wound equivalent of losing one's head quite suddenly. Therefore I would implore you to cogitate with all due diligence the conviction of considering yourself under the protection of the proverbial Lady Fortuna. Therefore, if you will allow me, I shall ask you in a frank manner : "Do you consider your current position fortunate, you impudent scoundrel ?"

The Sign of Four, set in 1888 and published 1890 so feasible. I always got the impression that Doyle enjoyed firearms but was far from expert, so mentioning a 6-year-old technology that he's seen in a magazine, gun shop or pistol range so casually in one of his novels, assuming that the technology is either wider-spread or commonly-known than in reality, would be consistent with that. EDIT: correction, it's The Adventure of the Dancing Men, published 1905. Feasibly an automatic pistol, but mentioned specifically as a revolver.

I do wonder if they ever looked at cutting down the loading gate so it covered just the bottom cylinder, or if that is possible. In theory, it could have allowed the user to keep their rounds retained within the gun better while still allowing the auto-ejection to work as intended, all while avoiding having to flip out a loading gate that could get in the way before use.

I had an H & R Model 949 revolver that was an auto-ejector. Every few times you fired it the loading gate would fly open and recoil would send a case (spent or unspent) shooting back at your face. Gave me a bad case of the flinches...

There are two big problems I can see with firing this thing with the gate open. 1. The extractor extracts on the 2-o-clock chamber whenever the hammer comes down. If this is your first shot with all six chambers loaded, that means it just extracted the live round that was in the 2-o-clock chamber (rather than the just-fired case in the 12-o-clock chamber), limiting your effective maximum capacity to five. 2. The recoil of the first shot may cause the round in the 4-o-clock chamber (which has nothing holding it in place) to back out of the chamber, seizing the cylinder until you push it back in with a finger or something. Keeping the rounds from backing out of the gun is the purpose of a loading gate. Both of these would only affect the first shot, since the extraction means that those two chambers (2- and 4-o-clock) would be empty on subsequent shots, but it still seems like a tremendous fuss for something that's supposed to be the recommended method.

The first tactical gun, that is awesome! I am surprised that you said there was only 350 built and how rare this handgun really is. For an 1884 acting as a semi auto is really cool.
