CAS

revolvers had pins between the chambers, or at least a single pin between two of them, for the same purpose. With my Pietta Remington 1858 it seems to work properly

i only have ruger single actions, so i cant play around to see how this "middle" position would cycle.
If i were carrying with hammer down between cylynders, how would i cycle the gun? ie what rotates the cylinder into normal firing mode?

update on SAA

Hey, i found a Uberti SAA in the classifieds here on the forum, I should pick it up today:D I can't wait to give it a whirl.

So i have 2 pistols now the uberti and the 58 remmy with 45 conv.

I also have an 1892 winchester built in 1893 and a 1878 (can't remember brand but built in chickopee(sp?), pre Stevens arms) I need to send both off to work on them any thoughts on using them or should i get replicas???:cool:
 
If the 92 is in collector shape I wouldn't but if it's just a shooter you wouldn't mind getting a few dings and scratches in go for it. Stevens or pre Stevens Shotguns don't have much collector value so go for it on that one.

Just cock the hammer.
 
Ruger Vaqueros and Blackhawks use a transfer bar ignition system, so it is perfectly safe to carry six in the cylinder. However, it is never allowed in CAS competition.
Well, I do not go often but a lot of our stages require a 1-2-3 and then a 3-2-1 shot pattern you cannot accomplish that with ten rounds.

That would require an on-the-clock reload.

As far as your original question, I highly recommend the Ruger Vaqueros. They're practically indestructible and can be slicked up easily if you're so inclined. I have several pairs, both Old Models and New Models, and I love 'em all.

You can indeed carry a single-action revolver as a concealed gun. Mernickle makes a great holster for it.
