One additional thought. I notice the gun does not have a rear sight... apparently one has to use the hammer's firing blade as the rear sight. Either that or this IS a prototype of a new model that hasn't quite been thought out.
Right. The firing blade makes a nifty rear site when the gun is cocked - that's all you've got.

It might be another example of corner cutting to provide a "discount" reseller branded gun.
