Star trek is set in 2267±1. The first double action revolvers date back to the early 1900s, and were phased out by law enforcement in the 1980s and 1990s. So on average in common usage they date from 1945±45.
So the gun he picked up is around 322 years old. He's thinking about historical artifacts. If he lived in 2025, he'd be thinking of a weapon from the early 1700s. It'd be like dreaming of a flintlock musket, or a rapier or french small sword. You know, nerd stuff.
we got a castle a couple valleys over. it's full of swords and armor and a dungeon and wine and nerd shit i guess. no boiling oil unless you bring your own i guess? it's great.
This gets referenced, sort of, in TAS: The Slaver Weapon.Spock asks him about the weapon, since he's acknowledged as an expert on weapons and firearms.

The look of absolute satisfaction.
Would it have been too on the nose for Checkov to have found the gun?
I believe this episode was season 1 so there was no Chekov yet
So not on the nose at all, just like temporaly impossible, lol.
