6:44 Oh noes! Did the patent expire? I'll get my paperwork and let myself out...

Drew Rebhorn

I see why we needed that $25 table now.

Mae Responding: $30 now. The ends were banging up against the legs whenever the dogs ran by it, so I snagged some of those sticky felt pads that you use for the feet of furniture and stuck 4 to the underside of the ends where they met the legs. No more thunks. Even more worth the price now.

Bradwan

So have we seen the last of the good ol' finger of PPP? C&R is getting all grown up.

Guido Schriewer

I loooove revolvers. one can never be exposed to much to a fine wheelgun. say from the dragoon up to and including a kimber 357 of these days.... ok maybe a bit too long for a video. jap 26 would make a decent carry piece with its DAO if only the caliber would have a little more hmmpf to it.

Bradwan

The Webley coin slot looks big enough for an old penny, or maybe even a florin. Ha"pennies might work but a thurppenny bit would probably be too thick and a farthing, or a tanner, too small.

Which reminds me: Mary had an iron cow / she milked it with a spanner / the milk came out in thruppeny tins / and also for a tanner.

Much as I enjoy my 1895 Nagant and (repro) Walker for their quirkiness the wheel guns I shoot the most are my Ruger Vaquero and Redhawk. If you were to do this material in a book I would buy a copy.

Terry Surface

Colt and clones 1873 go to for home defense and all around target shooter, throw in a Remington 1858 with LC cylinder how is it possible to have more fun?

Probably Satan

Thank you for taking the time to compile all of this info. Revolver literacy is something that seems to have largely died off.

Veteran of the Mushroom Wars

As someone who is not a firearms enthusiast (I'm here for the history really) I super appreciate this.

Stephen

I think I'm getting my head round Revolvers now. Thanks Guys.

David Herman

1) did Othais steal that pointer from his dentist? 2) If I recall correctly, Ian and Karl had an interview with a Faxon dude about barrels back for the OG WWSD, and he said long barrels aren't any more mechanically accurate. If anything, they have the propensity to be less accurate cause they flex more

Alex

I love these special episodes, thanks for putting so much effort into them.

"What does it mean to be a revolver" Thingy turns when boom button press?

DaveJD

A great video! I learned a lot watching this, and will probably see it many more times until I can absorb all of the names related to various design features. A few small additions for consideration: 1. a cutaway illustration comparing pinfire, rimfire and centerfire primed cases, perhaps during your description of how rimfire priming works 2. in the definition of revolver, an acknowledgement that the chamber is contained in the cylinder and thus separated from the barrel 3. some mention of the three major classes of springs used flat, Vee and coil, and perhaps the advantages of coil springs more common to later production designs 4. while it is a much later development, the Ruger method for 'compartmentalizing' many functional components within the triggerguard of a solid frame DA probably deserves brief mention

Thingy turns when the thwacky lever goes back. Then bang when the buuger hook gets pulled.

Bryon Simon

It may be possible to make a polycarbonate side plate to show the interior operations.

Loren Hermanson

So the brass pointer has made my orange patented plastic pokey shirt obsolete... I am strangely broken up about this.

Drizzle

Favorite revolver? I have a two inch K frame just like you showed. That would do it for me.

David Benson

Uh oh, not exhaustive and it's over two hours. Do I need to work tomorrow? Can't wait for this!

Blake Kilpatrick

Outstanding video! Would loved to have seen a Merwin Hulbert showcased in the loading segment.

Keith B

Wheelguns tend to passed by these days. It's great to get some history on the breed. Keep up the good work!

Jason

I too miss the patented plastic pokey. It's kinda a C&Rsenal trade mark.

Andrey Gardner

What is this "bang" onomatopoeia you keep using? I thought you had to use "quack" for YT reasons. Also, how many subs is using the "wrong" poker going to cost you?

Alden Skinner

I got my wheel guns out and layed them in front of the computer so they could watch too.

David Hemsath

This is a fantastic tutorial. Watching the early Primers taught me a lot about rifle bolts and now I have a foundation for revolvers. I loved my dad's Ruger GP100 in .357 Magnum/.38 Special (now with my son). While I admire the innovations and history of revolvers in the period up through The Great War, I prefer modern metallurgy, manufacturing and transfer bars. I don't have any suggestions for changes.

moosemaimer

Second gun I ever bought myself was a S&W .357. The first was the world's only malfunctioning G3. One has never worked right... the other has never once gone wrong.

They typically end up demonetized anyway, YT is defiantly against firearms

CandRsenal
>>64151790

It's not gone, it's just not fine enough for some of the deep pointing we were doing.

Brian Johnson

There isn't a 'like' option, so this will have to serve. Revolver design builds upon the past, so any modern weapon is a better choice; at least IMHO.

Andrey Gardner

Now I kind of want a seamless print of the table full of guns to use as a wallpaper border. And I regret not following along with my gas seal paperweight.

Loren Hermanson
>>64151790

I’m just yanking your chain!!! I wear my safety orange plastic pokey shirt with pride. Maybe you need to make the “Alternative Fine Precision Brass Pokey” shirt for us Pokey enthusiasts out here. Could be black with goldish metallic print so it’s super comfy on 100 degree days🤣🤣🤣

Thomas Przywara

No Mauser zig-zag :( Other than that, fantastic video! I guess I really didn't know much about how revolvers work.

GWTpict
>>64151790

I too own an orange patented plastic pokey t-shirt and wear it with pride :-)

lovot

I still want a Walker, but single double with better loading lever retention. I know it's not practical, but if I wanted practical I would go for a semi-auto instead.

Jack Fairbrother

Anyone who enjoyed this as much as me should watch the Chap from Bloke on the Range’s new video about the Manurhin MR73’s lockwork it’s super interesting and displays really well how they managed to create one of, if not the best service revolver in the world. It has the accuracy and characteristics of a high end target piece with the strength and longevity over and above basically anything else in the gun world full stop! Let alone revolvers in particular.

tenofprime
>>64167854

As pointed out YT demonetizes them normally anyway and as for what difference a small detail makes it is a point of pride in your work. The team wants to give us the best accurate info out there, even if it means taking down and revising an episode.

Andrey Gardner
>>64167854

My sarcasm did not carry well. I recall a certain Lewis Gun video that had "quacking" ADR over the gunfire because YT thought loading a magazine was manufacturing a firearm, and would not know one if it did not make a bang.

Christopher Dooley

My broad takeaway from this video: There are just as many mechanically distinct ways of making a revolver load, rotate, and fire safely as there are to make a semiautomatic handgun load, reciprocate and fire safely.

Brian Frohn

Enjoyed this video very much, Thanks. Could you make a nagant style pistol with the abidee loading gate. Sorry i butchered the spelling there.
