What happened to the Whitneyville? I thought they were between the Walker and the Dragoons?

[@RockIslandAuctionCompany]

You're correct! There were 250 of transitional models, but that same rarity means I didn't have one available for the video.

Where is the trigger on the Paterson?

[@skepticalbadger]

It folds down when cocked.
