Had a great time at the range this time out. I've never been disappointed after taking this gun out even if It takes a good long time to re-load. I have two cylinders for it but after a dozen shot or so it gets hard to switch out the cylinders. You have to re-oil it and clean off the fowling. Even so it's on of the most fun guns I have in my collection.

What are you lubing the cylinder pin with? It should run longer than that before it starts binding.
 
I've gotten better results with Bore Butter but there is a problem. It was almost 90 degrees out that day and at that temperature bore butter becomes practically unusable. Unless I keep a cooler with ice around the stuff is just a pain.
 
I usually wipe a little Barrel Blaster on the pin, and then wipe it down periodically as I shoot, about every two dozen shots or so. I also run some through the cylinder with a q-tip.
