Vindication is a sleek revolver with a long barrel. It is made of a silvery metal called [[Invarian steel]], and it is highly polished.{{book ref|mb4|14}} It does not use [[aluminum]] in its construction due to cost.{{book ref|mb4|18}} It has a grip styled with wavy lines of ivory and onyx separated by metal bands.{{book ref|mb4|14}}
The gun has eight chambers and can be loaded with six ordinary bullets and two larger "[[Hazekiller#Hazekiller_Rounds|hazekiller rounds]]" designed to fight [[Allomancer]]s. The gun will normally fire the six standard bullets and skip the two chambers that hold the hazekiller rounds. Pulling a lever on the grip and spinning the hammer locks it onto the additional chambers. Since Invarian steel is stronger and lighter than ordinary steel, it allows for thinner chamber walls, so the revolver remains reasonably sized.{{book ref|mb4|14}} It also has an "Allomancer-only" safety; a hidden internal switch that only a [[Misting]] or [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] can see or access via an [[iron]]pull or a [[steel]]push. The safety disables the gun, making it nearly impossible to turn it on its owner.{{book ref|mb4|14}} Ranette later used a similar internal latch design on the third version of her grappling hook devices.{{book ref|mb5|5}}
