the part on top doesn't seem to be a slider. It doesn't move and doesn't have any lines that hint that it would slide. It is either a reservoir for more dust or simply a weight. the heavier the gun, the less recoil, especially for large callibers.

as for the hammer, it is external, meaning that there must be a reason he can pull it back manually, this points towards a double action revovler. single action revolvers require you to pull the hammer back manually for every shot, but double action will automaticly pull the hammer back when you pull the trigger, or you can pull it back with you thumb to make an easier trigger pull.

The second trigger is probably used to cycal between ammunition types.
