>-Performing Immediate Action:
If your revolver fails to fire and you are not out of ammunition, then you may have a disabled revolver. Attempt to clear the revolver and reload; usually if your revolver is disabled, you will not be able to clear and or reload without assistance of a tool (dejammer) and more time than you probably have…. Many Revolver shooters carry a back-up gun (BUG) just in case-this is sometimes called a “NY reload”<
Is the writer prejudiced against revolvers?
If your revolver fails to fire and you are not out of ammunition, fire again!
The point was intended to make clear that if you are not out of ammo and your weapon fails to fire, it may be more than a bad primer or weak hammer strike-I have had occasion to revert to my BUG due to a jammed cylinder (factory loaded bullet backed out of the case under recoil and locked up the action, after the first shot). Good thing it was training. Also had a snubby get a fired cartridge stuck under the ejector star and disable the gun as well. A dejammer is a good tool to have aboard if carrying a revolver, not many do though.
On the other hand, never had a pistol lock itself up past IA/RA....
I will edit my syllabus and attempt to make it more clear. Probably will add "attempt to fire the next chamber...". I usually carry a pistol. But again, no anti-revolver attitude from me.
