Wasn’t the revolver a single action Army Colt replica? To fire that weapon required cocking the hammer THEN pulling the trigger.
I don’t remember the particulars about the weapon.
I’ve seen others talk about it, so I’d expect someone to
chime in.
“To fire that weapon required cocking the hammer THEN pulling the trigger.”
Or holding the trigger down, pulling the hammer back, and then releasing the hammer.
Cocking then pulling is only one way. Holding the trigger back then fanning the hammer will quickly fire all six cylinders.
It was a Uberti Single Action Army clone. 100% like the original in function. Yes, the trigger has to be pulled for it to fire. But if the trigger is pulled prior to cocklng the hammer it will fire when the hammer is released. This is called slip firing, and several gun fighters tied back the trigger and modified the hammer spur to do just that. Elmer Keith wrote about this, back in the day.
