If you are wondering what program I use for the creation of this video, please check the description. It should be included on every video in this series, if not let me know.
Here is an index to the time stamps for the five types of handguns covered: 00:00 Single Action (only) Revolver 6:58 Singe Action (only) 1911 Pistol 16:41 Double Action/Single Action (DA/SA) Revolver 24:47 Double Action Only (DAO) Revolver 28:20 Double Action/Single Action (DA/DA) Pistol
Safest way to carry these old style single action revolvers that do not have a transfer bar safety or hammer block is to do what is called the cowboy load where only load 5 not 6 and slowly carefully drop hammer on empty chamber while looking to make sure on empty chamber
Smith & Wesson uses a hammer block, which is what you show here for the Colt Python. A transfer bar rises up and makes the connection between the gap in the hammer and the firing pin as shown the Ruger LCR.
Is adjusting the bolt spring a good way to adjust the hammer reset position? Timing is perfect with new cylinder, but hammer makes contact earlier. Squishing the bolt a tiny bit creates the audible click indicating reset. If anyone has any knowledge about adjusting hammer reset position I’m open to suggestion.
Mouse, which is the most durable, longest lasting semi-auto design ? (SAO, DAO, DA/SA, Striker) Would one be correct in assuming that the simplest design would also be the least prone to failure compared to more complex designs ? ...Or no ?
Was this the first "how guns work" video you did? Also. How did you learn so much about firearms? I already watched a few of your how firearms work videos.
The answers to both of your questions are somewhat complicated. I recently received a request for a Q&A video, which I was going to collect questions for when I reached a thousand subscribers. As I have seen similar questions in the past I will more than likely answer then in greater detail. To answer the first question in short: no it is not the first of the videos I did, technically the delayed blowback video was made first.
Are you kidding me? There are three notches how can you even forget to mention the first one? I do not own this Colt but from experience I believe the first notch is carrying notch.
It was designed to be carried on first notch but even colt had said that it was a design flaw and it shouldn't be carried like that. Cowboy load which is only 5 and leave hammer over empty chamber is the absolute safest way to carry this gun.

Thank you from the core of my heart!
Your video is one of the most informative clips out on youtube.
Finally a graphic explanation of how the trigger, sear, and hammer work thanks J

I love these videos. How long does it take to make something like this? If love to see a video about how you make these videos!
Alec Baldwin should've watched this video

Technically? Did you produce it first, but released it afterwards other(s)? Is that what you mean?
You have it wrong when it comes to "Transfer Bar" v.s. "Hammer Block"...
Im building a revolver (legally) and i dont know how i can manipulate the cylinder with the tooling i have.
non-firing replica or firing metallic replica?
can u pls explain also the mechanism of s&w k76 smg?
@MouseGunner, How does a striker fired fire the gun like the Glock 19 work. Can you make a video? Please.

There are deff 3 notches on it though
Safety notch can easily break off sear on trigger
Anyone else here for writing purposes?
Alec Baldwin did it
Too slow xplaination.
This is slow...
