Hahaha, I get that reference!

Faggot.

>not springing for the 1851 Navy model and resting the hammer on the safety pin between charges
it's like you don't even want to cylinder swap reload

>>34085143
six bullets is more than enough to kill anything that moves.

>>34084978
The reload time Is exhilarating. It's so different from simply changing a clip

>>34084978
>Revolutionary
Absolutely
>Objectively the best handgun
Debatable. In the present, any quality swing-open is more than likely better than the SAA. On top of that, autoloading handguns have become extremely popular amongst civillians since the early 1900s and amongst police since the early 80's

Literally cowboy cosplay

>>34087357
Those engravings give no tactical advantage whatsoever.

the engraving on the original barrel is even nicer in my opinion, you'd mistake it for tarnish or wear if you didn't know what it was
>>34089169
what are you retarded?

Double action is better m8

>>34084978
There were literally 2 other companies making better guns at the time. Merwin and Hulbert made better guns and the S&W Model 3 was a better gun

>>34089071
Thats like using live ammunition to make your civil war reanactment historically accurate.

>>34089126
Unless your going to auction it off as a collector's item.

Karl, what the fuck are you doing shit posting on /k/?

>>34092616
joke
---->
my head

lol.

anyway, I picked this up in some junk store in AZ for $200. would have paid that much for the MoP handles in pristine condition.

Friendo gave me a couple of low powered handloads that I shot from behind a tree with a string. Worked well, trigger pull is 3 lbs.

Karl from inrangetv like that nazi who works with Ian from forgotton weapons, lives in AZ and just di a video about replacing the springs in a M&H .38

now that's funny

is he like the Fascist from "Brat 2"?

What would a triple action look like?

>>34092866
1 pull of the trigger would eject the previously fired casing, index the cylinder, and cock the hammer.

>>34085143
that's california fudd carry rules, m8

>this cool and handsome guy says I'd be better with a revolver

Ocelot was an idiot

>>34090851
Moon clips??? How new to revolvers are you?

>>34093136
NO, ITS LITERALLY UNSAFE TO CARRY WITH A LIVE ROUND UNDER THE HAMMER

>>34089071
I thought this thread was about the original Colt SAA
which has no transfer bar.
when there is a live round under the hammer, its possible for the round to go off because there is nothing stopping the firing pin from striking the primer if something smacks the hammer.
this and other breaking news coming up at 11

>>34093947
Why?

>>34094201
impact on percussion cap, however...
>>34093947
some cylinders have a safety pin between each chamber and a groove on the hammer so the hammer can be let down while all six are loaded
