Not to mention the no-action revolver, which required a hammer, a nail and a steady hand to actually fire. Purists still swear by its low misfire rate.
That's not even a lie or anything, that's why there were "braces of pistols" and the like. The one place I remember this at is a Count of Monte Cristo line in the middle when someone managed to fire his rifle, a musket, and empty two revolvers and still have things to shoot and no more loaded guns.
I think it would be a good idea to mention one more thing: single action trigger pull is much shorter and lighter than double action which helps to shoot more accurately. Therefore most modern double action revolvers still allow you to manually cock the hammer for that shorter and lighter single action trigger pull.
Well that's generally speaking. You can have a double action trigger that is creeping and stiff as fuck because it's a crappy trigger. But of course you are correct, I was also kinda missing that he mentions double into single action because that's still pretty darn popular with modern handguns, many military forces today use a double into single automatic. Though of course not a revolver.
"helps to shoot more accurately" ...... I would give you that mate apart from the fact that a lot of the old single action Colt type pistols had the tiny groove of a rear sight on the head of the hammer, and the front sight was a pimple, so aiming accurately is a bloody nightmare compared to say a Remington New Model or a S&W Model 3 (which the Webleys were almost copies of), or the Adams / Beaumont Adams English pistols of the same era. When it comes to ease of sighting all the Colts I own score very low (all of mine are the main model 1850s and 1860s Colts). Its horses for courses mate. The British Army gave Sam Colt a go with his 1851 Navy and adopted it as the issue revolver for a while....till troops returning from the Crimea and then the Indian Mutiny sent in a stack of complaints about it jamming due to caps falling into the mechanism/cylinder face, a pig to aim in the heat of a skirmish due to the crappy sights, and too low a caliber to be effective (in one report a Brit officer was cut down by a Sepoy after shooting him 3 or 4 times with his Colt Navy to little effect). Thats why Brit officers preferred the heavy caliber lower velocity SA/DA Webleys and Adams revolvers with solid or wedge frames and frame mounted rear sights, and Sam lost the contract to Adams and the LAC. Adams & LAC kept the contract till after the end of the Zulu Wars. After LAC the contract passed, for a short time, to Enfield and then to Webley.
I didn't say anything about any particular model being better than others. I just said that if you have any DA/SA revolver it is easier to shoot this specific gun accurately with manually cocked hammer and single action trigger.
@@adrian_zombturtle148 Watch the very end of the video. It says the British made a tripple action revolver. One pull of the trigger cocked it, fired it and made the tea.
“Cowboys” carried on an empty chamber. So only five rounds were expendable in a single action revolver. They carried on an empty round so that if the gun was dropped and landed on the hammer it wouldn’t have fired.
@@redram5150 It's not dated. To this very day some heathens still put the milk in first. It was only a thing to save the cheap china, but we have much improved cups now we dont need to do it, it ruins the cuppa!
@@guypierson5754 Dr Stapley of Loughborough University established that putting the milk in after the boiling water is incorrect, as it causes the milk to heat unevenly (as opposed to pouring the water on top of it). This uneven heating of the milk causes the proteins in it to denature, meaning they lose their structure and “clump”, affecting the taste and contributing to that skin you get on the top. So when someone says they can tell if you put the milk in first or second in the tea you’ve made for them just by tasting it, turns out they probably can. Milk in first, or tea. Just do whatever you want.
@@dawnless852British Standard BS6008 (or ISO3103) "Preparation of a liquor of tea" does specify that milk should be added first although makes provision for adding milk second provided you let the tea cool down first.

"This is the greatest handgun ever made. The Colt Single Action Army. Six bullets... More than enough to kill anything that moves" Man, I never really knew the effort Ocelot had to go through to use his weapon of choice. Much respect.
It's a LOT easier and faster than Lloyd makes it look. It's like Dealing Cards at a Casino, after a long time of Constant Practice, you get GOOD. Thumb Injuries DO Cut your Rate-of-Fire, however...And you ideally carry a Pair, or Brace, of pistols to Eliminate the need for reloading. If Twelve Shots won't Get You Out, you should have brought your AR or SLR...And Automatics hold MANY more rounds, and reload in a second or less in the MIDDLE of a Gunfight..
Good discussion. Some things of note: With the 'Colt' revolver, the common carry was 5 shots, with an empty chamber under the hammer, to avoid a discharge if the gun was dropped--the lockwork was a bit weak. The procedure was to load one, skip a chamber, then load four more. This put the empty chamber under the hammer for carry. The Webleys were often modified to fire double action only as a safety measue (can't have troops running around with cocked revolvers, can we??) The break-open frames, such as the Webley and early Smith & Wessons had that weak point at the latch, so as revolvers became more powerful, 'solid' frames with swing-out cylinders became the norm. Thanks again for an enjoyable video!!
I’d like to amend your statement, around 90% of revolvers usually we’re loaded with 5 rounds until the invent of a transfer bar around the late 1880’s if I’m remembering correctly, as the hammers of single actions and the early double actions had the firing pin on the hammer it’s self instead of what most revolvers have now which is either a hammerless design or where the hammer hits a piece of metal which sends the firing pin forward and strikes the primer fired the bullet
@@colehiggins8035 has nothing to do with the fireing pin on the hammer, as smith and wessons and colts where safe to carry 6 chambers loaded since the 1890s and had fireing pins on hammers untill the late 90s. it has to do with a blocking bar in the frame that does not let the hammer fall far enough to hit the fireing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed
One additional detail about double action revolvers: you can cock the hammer and this makes the trigger pull much lighter. If you pull the trigger in double action the travel is quite long and you have to pull harder which may throw your aim off and delay your shot. With a cocked hammer a light squeeze is enough and you get an instant shot.
There are also double to single action striker fired pistols. The Beretta m9 for example. First shot is a long pull, remaining 14 or 15 short pulls for better accuracy. It is much much harder to shoot yourself in the leg with a 5-9 lb pull trigger, and your average excitable Brit will shoot himself in the leg pretty often. Brits go off flooffy around guns. It would be cute except for the whole shooting themselves in the leg part.
@@theminister1154 The M9 is not striker fired, it's hammer fired. Also, nitpicking, but it's a bit weird to say "Beretta M9". It's either a "Beretta 92FS", or the "Pistol, Semiautomatic, 9mm, M9". The former is the make and model, the latter is the US DoD designation for said make and model.
Could be some sort of DA/SA where running the hammer still turns the cylinder. It's probably not impossible. It just fell out of favor is all with the DAs that came after the Colt SAA.
@@Wishuponapancake what's the point though? The hammer and trigger is mechanically linked so all he would have to do is take his off hand put it in the trigger guard and move it back and forth as fast as he can. That would probably be faster than fanning the hammer.
Bloke on the Range is a good dude for letting Lindy mess about with his shooters, but I doubt he's gonna want anyone throwing them in the air over and over, I'm sure he's rich since, you know, where he is and what he owns, but there's a limit to how much cash you wanna write off to help a mate make a cool vid.
I can do some of the routine. Not all of it cause I was learning the ones from MGS3 and it implies throwing the gun in the air and catching it, which I won't try. The rest is fairly easy, the hard part is using your left arm to do stuff it has never been asked to do before.
Came to the comment section looking for somebody whining about revolvers not being pistols. Glad to report I didn't find anyone doing that. They usually come out of the woodwork in a revolver video.
I just learned something about single actions, thank you Edit: the thing I didn't know was that you could hold the trigger down to fan a single action revolver.
I learned I had it backwards all along hehe. I always thought single action fired in one pull of the trigger, and double action required two action, cocking it then pulling the trigger.
Kinzuko something important that isn't mentioned is that double actions can usually be used as single actions. It reduces trigger pull quite a bit, so it's much easier to shoot accurately
Correct me if I'm wrong but the correct term is round and not bullet? I was always taught the bullet is the actual projectile whereas the round is the projectile, propellant, case and striking cap assembly?
Couple things 1: Generally the Colt Single Action army and other revolvers like it of the era were generally only loaded with 5 rounds because the firing pin was on the hammer directly which means if you loaded six, then holstered the revolver then had an accident that bumped the hammer, the firing pin goes into an empty chamber rather than a live one and shooting you in the leg or foot or whatever. 2. Another common type of revolver starting in about the 1850s to about 1870s were cap and ball revolvers, black powder revolvers that had to be hand loaded then used a percussion cap, And they too were single action only, but they ran the risk of chain fire since loose powder and hot sparks and gasses might cause other loads to ignite and the revolver to explode in your hand.
Excellent presentation! I have to read a manual for a gun course tomorrow and the info presented in the manual makes it very difficult to understand what you have just so brilliantly explained. Thank you for the help!
all weapons on TH-cam are safe, they can't harm you. The danger is irritation by Sally ... Safety Sally. The bitch is a nag who harps cheaply to self aggrandize on points she thinks can't be argued. Shut the hell up, Sally.
It's important for him and those there. Insisting from your computer or phone thousands of miles away and not trusting he isn't an idiot, is childish & cheap self aggrandizement.
I watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with my girlfriend last Saturday. She asked me about this thing she saw the characters doing, pulling their triggers back repeatedly. Unfortunately I failed to explain the issue and started talking about non-automatic and semi-automatic weapons.
Anyone who has fired blackpowder colts knows fanning in those movies (Eastwood used a '51 Navy) is comically impossible. Spent caps get stuck in the hammer mechanism, some caps just don't go off, some caps fall off, etc.
Grew up with Westerns via my Pap who also grew up with Westerns from the 50s and 60s. Don't care much about Double-Action revolvers would rather have an SAA, Remington 1858, or Colt 1851.
I never wondered what it meant enough, to bother googling it, yet I was really happy to finally see you come up with a video about it, so I can be done with one of the smaller misteries. Thanks Lloyd.
No they are real guns. At 1:19 he says the they are all real. The first is a single action colt that i believe is a pedersoli or other brand that made replica working guns. Real guns just made in the 1970s/80s instead of 1870s /1880s. You can buy them online for $300-$500 instead of the real old west guns that are $3000-$5000. But in this instance he does not mean replica/nonfiring guns that a lot of europeans have because they cant own firearms a lot of the time
@@sumvs5992 if you dry fire guns the firing pin can hit against gunmetal insife the gun/firing pin can break over time because diffrence in metals. More of a problem on older guns. Whole point that dry firing can damage is just the firing pin can get damaged an cost you $40-$80 to get fixed
1:45 "if you have your finger on the trigger all the time, this will allow you..." to put a deep scratch in the cylinder around the pawl track and eventually hog out the pawl stops and throw the hand out of time. Don't do that, it's as bad as flipping a crane loading revolver shut with a flick of the wrist (which eventually twists the crane to the point of unusability).
I think he'd be okay because - though you may not be accustomed to this - in the UK, the police won't straight up murder you for so much as breathing near them.
@MatrixPanda yeah. A revolver without an exposed hammer is easier to carry and draw from concealment. Some instructors recommend only practicing DA because that's what you'll be using in a self defense situation.
@@marshallferron Oh right, makes sense that those revolvers without exposed hammers would not allow for single action shooting ahaha. Thanks for the reply dude!
no just have to have a background check and interview with the police to justify a legitimate reason to own a gun we don't give every idiot a gun because we had a mass shooting then realised we didn't want a another
@@jackcloud4728 I get the point. But we cant even use mace in the uk, just a dye. Sure argue that guns aren't safe enough but pepper spray... Also if you wanted to invade the UK or the States you'd pick the UK any day. It's citizens can't fight back. I do believe armed citizens are a massive deterant to foreign invasion.
true civilians having guns may pose as a deterrent and maybe towns police stations should have an armoury for national defence to be distributed in the case of invasion. however a standing centralised army would make that almost irrelevant yes it poses an advantage if we have to muster gorilla defence, but to be realistic us being allowed pistols isn't going to do anything to resist a military armed with body armour. youd need shotguns and rifles which are legal to own in the uk already. as far as pepper spray goes its a good idea till you get sprayed because you walk past a nervous woman at night however if they receive guidance on how and when to use spray would be a good idea and if it was a choice id be buying my sister a can right now. however when scared people will escalate to the biggest option... you have a gun hear a noise you shoot... you have pepper spray you hear a noise you spray... your unarmed you hear a noise the most you can do is punch them but first you have to close the distance by that time you can ID the threat
@@jackcloud4728 "you have a gun hear a noise you shoot... you have pepper spray you hear a noise you spray..." I just disagree. Only twats walk around with fingers on triggers. Innocent people will not want to kill someone, they may just point the gun as a deterant, or aim for non-vital areas. "your unarmed you hear a noise the most you can do is punch them but first you have to close the distance by that time you can ID the threat" what about "cars are too fast. on foot we can slow down quicker avoiding collisions. Cars give people the ability to kill very easily. Ban cars and use feet only." silly huh You, like the UK govt, believe people will misuse powers given to them and so only a select few may have the right, but are hypocritical in principle. You have a right to drive massive, dangerous machines not more than a foot from me. I have no right to protect myself with non lethal mace. A 16 year old lad around the corner was almost killed from an intoxicated driver and recently in our capital, vans were used for mass murder. I get jumped in the streets and am expected to 'close the gap' and get fucked up. God forbid I get a gun because I totally cannot kill you with my just my car..... EDIT: Macing indiscriminantly would be assault, so in the case of being missprayed, I'd sue. I tend to avoid following women down the street at night so as not to even be considered offensive let alone provoke them. Your sister however, would be given an advantage in an altercation provided she didnt misuse her self-defence tool.
Even though it's just over a year old, I am watching this for the first time - I did shoot in the British Army, but couldn't when I left. Then, I emigrated to the USA and I can go to the range all the time, (I'm a member) and have a variety of pistols. Excellent video, Lloyd, from a fellow Brit now in America!
"Pistol" is a type of gun "revolver/automatic" is a type of action (how the rounds are loaded into the chamber). Though not very common revolvers CAN be the actions used in long rifles and shot guns.
Revolving action refers to the action Revolver typically refers to the pistol Revolving carbine refers to a carbine using the revolving action. And Revolving rifle refers to a rifle using a revolving action. And Revolving cannon... well you get the picture.
@@Automaticstudioss I really hate when people try to explain something that is already clearly understood. People have to do what makes them seem smart to themselves I guess.
This is a VERY good video. You were very precise and concise, something that is missed by MOST "informative" videos. I am looking forward to more from you!
Bullets are the projectile. Cartridge is a complete piece of ammo with primer, powder, and bullet contained in a case. You don't eject 'bullets' (other than down the barrel at five or six hundred miles/hour...) you eject empty cases, or cartridge cases. You were bang on as far as single or double action referring to what the trigger does. Brilliant. The 'lever' is the hammer 'spur'. Some revos do not have spurs as they are 'double action only', The Enfield and S&W you showed are actually Double action/single action, as they are capable of both. Some pistols are double action only and the hammer can not be cocked other than by pulling the trigger. Also, you are spot on in regards to calling them pistols. Some buggerer back in the 60's decided that autos were 'pistols' and revolvers were 'revolvers. If you look at old adverts, particularly from Colt, they call them 'revolving pistols'. So good job there. All in all, for someone with little exposure to firearms, you did a passable job.
The Schofield Model 3 had the Top Break Design similar to the Enfield shown in this video. Although Smith and Wesson weren't the first ones to use the Top Break design, they did manage to utilize it in the Single Action Revolvers. The U.S. Calvary actually favored the Schofield over the SAA since they could reload the Schofield while on horseback efficiently using their leg to open and close the Top Break mechanism. The problem was the Schofields cylinder was shorter than the SAA had and by the end of the 1870s the the military were transitioning to 45 Caliber Long Colts for side arm rounds. Had Smith and Wesson modified the cylinder to handle the Long Colt, the Military would probably have stuck with the Schofield over the SAA.
I'm really glad that you had someone else inspect the weapons and render them safe because frankly, the thought of you handling a firearm that may or may not be loaded is not quite terrifying but damn close..........
After binge watching most of your video. I realise you are a crazy eccentric uncle or dad like the kind that the parents don't kinda like (but secretly love cause he shuts up kids for an hour or two) but it's great if he comes over once a year just saying.
He lives in a close by city, but too far away for you to visit until you're a teen and every time he visits you're contractually guaranteed a good story.
Jerold Productions I almost agree with you, but I would amend it to "that the parents love, 'cause he can keep all the children listening to him intently for more than an hour."
The thing is it does happen. Guy I knew had some photos taken with a revolver that used to belong to Elvis. Somehow it had made it's way to the UK, been deactivated & ended up as a collector's piece. This was around when most digital cameras where still pretty junky, so a lot of people were still using film for higher quality stuff. He got a call from the developing place that he was to come & get the pics, which is odd for a start, usually you just pick them up whenever. So he goes down to get them & there's a whole bunch of cops waiting, demanding to know what all these pics are with a bunch of lads pointing a silver revolver at each other. They weren't happy with just his word for it either, they held him until they had contacted the owner, then released him under caution until someone had visited the owner to check the gun & the credentials. That was probably about 15 years ago & the cops here are probably a bit worse now.The culture here around guns is generally one of fear & ignorance. It's pretty sad tbh.
I love your videos, as they always contain all the relevant information in a neat small and easy to digest package, but this one has a major deficiency: pulling back the hammer manually on a double-action revolver is not useless at all. You can aim much better if you use a double action revolver in single action mode, because it has a much lighter trigger pull. Some double action revolvers have a MASSIVELY heavy trigger pull which makes accurate aiming at long distance very difficult. If you are not in a hurry and need to take careful aim, it's much better to manually cock the hammer.
You can fan a double action revolver, you just wouldn't bother because you lose deliberate precise aim. Also double action revolvers in most cases still have a single action capability. By cocking the hammer back you get a shorter pull and lighter trigger which usually results in better accuracy. If you have time enough to take deliberate aim you will almost certainly cock the hammer back.
I have a revolver 3 feet from me I can assure you when the hammer comes back the cylinder moves. Seems Lloyd does not understand the concept of trigger reset. I guess he can be forgiven that being a Subject of the crown which is to say little opportunity to handle a live firearm.
AKlover Well, to be fair, he was referring to fanning as a sort of bump fire variant with emphasis on holding the trigger. He still should've clarified that DA/SA revolvers can be cocked, however, so, yeah, he could be misleading with that point, lol
Are you seriously sitting there telling me that you don't know what fanning means, you fucking dumbass kid? And for your information, not that I think that you can comprehend any of it, I was shooting before I ever started playing video games, which was more than 30 years ago. And if my disposition is somewhat sour and if I lash out, it's because I've fucking had enough of you fucking cretins who talk about guns and possibly even bought one, but can't be fucking bothered to figure out a single fact before you start spewing made-up shit on the internet.
AKlover, you cannot fan the hammer of a S&W 686. As long as you keep the trigger held back, the gun is in full lockup and the cylinder won't budge. You can release the trigger and slap the hammer back, but it's still necessary to pull and release the trigger for each shot. That's not fanning, that's just cocking it like a spaz. It's analogous to slam-firing a pump shotgun. On an old 1987 trench shotgun, you can hold the trigger back and fire as fast as you can cycle the pump. If you try it on a modern shotgun, it won't work. You have to reset the trigger between shots.
Unloading the cylinder of the single action can go VERY fast if you practice... MUCH much faster than LB did it. Another thing to note not brought up in the video, you can cock a double action eith your hand not held down on the trigger, giving a much easier trigger pull. An easier and lighter trigger pull is a massive help for accuracy, as you don't have to pull the hammer or turn the cylinder under tension. It also decreases the time from when you decide to shoot and when you actually do Personally though, single actions are more fun for recreational shooting :)
You make a special point of how being british makes you call revolvers pistols. I am American & I have never heard somebody saying that a revolver does not count as a pistol. It's just a subcategory of pistol. Is there a nationality that makes some distinction there?
As an American, I know revolvers are pistols, even call mine that. But I've been corrected by people on more than on occasion, "That's not a pistol, it's a revolver." Correcting them doesn't seem to help.
I've been dry firing old revolvers for years mate, and I've never had a firing pin break, never had a frame warp, and never had a missfire. So long as you aren't dry firing revolvers from the 1800s, or otherwise aren't cheaps made of pot metals, you are fine.
It's still a good practices to not dry fire a revolver. You never know how every pin will react to it, and castings/forgings may differ in how they are cooled, or even in the speed of which they do cool.
I love this channel, but im an american that grew up with guns, joined the army and was formally trained with my rifle, and now I am a serious firearm and hunting enthusiast. I have a double action revolver in my bedsode table. I still watched this video through to the end, because I like to hear lloyd talk sometimes.
The fastest double tap I have ever seen was done with a SA revolver. They can also be very fast on the first shot by thumb cocking as they are brought to firing position. S&W style break top single actions are just as fast to load as DA swing out revolvers as well.
Coming back after seeing a bunch of other gun videos and then seeing this one again, I am kinda disappointed in Lindybeige and see why he's not much of an expert in this particular field. He's still quite informative here though and it's not like he's wrong about the basics. One, single-action still has merits over double-action, and in fact, two, that's why there are guns that are SA/DA. Lindybeige is right for just calling all handguns pistols really - there are revolvers and there are self-loaders or autoloaders. And both types of pistol can have SA, DA, and SA/DA, where you can fire it as a double-action or choose to cock the hammer yourself to fire it in single-action. The issue with the double-action is that now more things are dependent on your trigger pull, meaning both your finger is now using more force (usually not an issue save for guns with strong hammer springs, a standby of the black powder and early smokeless days when cartridges weren't always reliable), but also the different mechanisms affect how your finger feels its way with the trigger. A double-action trigger has the problem of things described as "creep" and "slop", essentially that your trigger movement has changing levels of force or resistance throughout your trigger pull. An ideal trigger pull is short and "crisp", which translates to being able to shoot exactly at the moment you want to shoot. Crisp triggers are desired by pistol marksmen. That is why, in a SA/DA pistol, a marksman has the choice to manually cock the hammer ahead of time to give them the best trigger pull for a good shot. Single-action is still important. Especially with autoloaders, where the slide action can be used to recock the hammer, making it that all shots can have an SA in terms of trigger pull, except for the first shot which is in DA. Unless, of course, you cock the hammer manually before firing, so all your shots are SA.
I don't know about that Enfield, but my Webley Mk. V (made in 1915) has a trigger weight of approximately 185 pounds in DA and a pull of about 2 feet. I'd feel comfortable shooting it DA at an enemy within bayonet range but anything longer than that and it is MUCH more accurate cocking it manually and firing it SA. It has a noticeably heavier mainspring than any other revolver I own including 2 replica SAAs and 2 replica Colt Navies. Every modern DA revolver I've fired up to a .44 magnum has had a significantly shorter, lighter, and smoother trigger pull.
@Ryan Yarnevich Can you explain double action not being semi auto? i looked up the definitions and can only find a semantic reason not to consider double action semi auto. Chuur
@Ryan Yarnevich which is....? Cmon man. As far as I can tell all double actions are semoauto but not all semi autos are double actions. Also, because a double action revolver chambers the shot before its fired not after, one could consider that the difference. But honestly if that's you're reasoning it's weak. Please, just tell me.
@Ryan Yarnevich Semi-automatic fire is "pull the trigger many times, shoot many times". If you are going to say that the definition should be because of the action instead of how it's used, then you would have to separately ban different gas and blowback systems... many of which are also in pistols anyway.
You're not wrong to call those pistols, and the men in my family have been considered cowboys for three generation. People are wrong to call revolving action handguns (hereafter referred to as Revolvers) as something separate from pistols. It's about as incorrect as suggesting a revolving longgun is something different from regular rifles, carbines, muskets, blunderbusses/grenade launchers, and shotguns.
" It's about as incorrect as suggesting a revolving longgun is something different from regular rifles, carbines, muskets, blunderbusses/grenade launchers, and shotguns." Those firearms are actually quite different. A blunderbuss and a grenade launcher are entirely different beasts altogether. A carbine is going to have a shorter barrel and possibly use handgun/lower caliber ammo when compared to a non-carbine version. Ignoring the grenade launcher, to say any of those guns are different from a longgun would be similar to the pistol vs revolver comparison though. however, had you stopped at revolving longgun vs rifle, it would have been an excellent point.
" A blunderbuss and a grenade launcher are entirely different beasts altogether. " Since when? What we call a grenade launcher is just a breach loading blunderbuss. In fact, the ye olde blunderbuss even came in a grenade launching variant. And the modern 37mm and 40mm is used for the same purposes and more. They can fire large volumes of shot, grenades, signaling devices, less-lethal ammunition, or improvised ammunition. It's literally the same concept, but with metallic cartridges. "A carbine is going to have a shorter barrel and possibly use handgun/lower caliber ammo when compared to a non-carbine version" No shit. But a revolving carbine isn't any less of a carbine than a lever-action, pump-action, bolt-action, or semi-auto carbine. "however, had you stopped at revolving longgun vs rifle, it would have been an excellent point." Why? I mentioned firearms that have counterparts that have examples with revolving actions, and examples with other actions or are single shot.
I'm dead sure he just got the gun cleared by someone, took it and pointed at his head and started to pull the trigger to see if it was safe. Will you gun nuts just stop?
he didn't its the police protocol all weapons must be checked to be cleared by a third party before being placed back into the car. hes saying he cleared them and had it confirmed by a third party
Fabulous explanation delivered in a quick & crisp double action way without all the safety cautioning and irrelevant asides you hear from American presenters. And I like the sweaty appearance of the guy that makes me think he just plugged somebody full of lead in a do-or-die showdown.
Couple of things Lindy. 1 Single action was still very popular until after WW1 cause the Shootists could crack off more shots very accurately. 2 Early double action could be fanned and where fanned when it was necessary.
Flashman Ha honestly its the same in the US everyone in our big cities are typically so scared of guns cause they see the criminal element of them, but in the country I got a rifle at 12 because we see the utility in them. Plus its damn fun to shoot guns.
@@victorgraves9603 They are Bloke on the Range's guns, Bloke on the Range lives in Switzerland by choice (this should tell you something about his political and sociological views). Both Lindy and Bloke would have checked the guns, Lindy just assumes you, as his viewer, have the brains to give him enough credit that he checked himself AND got the most experienced person there (Bloke) to ALSO check, that is the point he is making, not that he (Lindy) himself had not checked. He's not a moron. And neither are you. So relax.
Yeah...that is a ridiculous thing to say. A third party?? Only in Britain does a man not load or unload his own firearm and act like that makes any sense...
@@guypierson5754 Then why didn't he just say "I checked these guns myself and I can assure you that they are indeed, unloaded" and avoided all the questions? Anyone who is familiar with weapons knows that the first thing that they do when picking up a weapon is verify that it is indeed unloaded. Not ask if a third party verified that the weapon is unloaded. Hell, even though I know that my weapons are unloaded, I still check them EVERY F*CKIN' TIME, just to be sure because I don't want to be another example of someone shooting or being shot by a supposedly "unloaded" weapon. If there is one area where being really pedantic is a major plus, it's when handling weapons.
A cool fact about the Webley and enfield revolvers (I'm American so pistol and revolver are different for me) is that the ring he was talking about that ejected the shells wouldn't eject the loaded ones. In other words if you fired 3 shots and wanted to reload it would eject the 3 spent cartridges but not the loaded ones.
Oh, Lloyd. You didn't scare me. You couldn't shoot through my screen even if you tried. There's too many thousands of miles between your studio and my home.
Have you seen Charlie and the chocolate factory? All British television works like that, in an emergency tea is dispenced via television. In fact, while the Americans were farting about with aliens at Roswell, we Brits were developing the trans-televisual apparatus.
While your general comments are correct there are other things that can come into play. One of my friends challenged me to a bit of a competition on his father's shooting range. The range was a 10 yard by 30 yard flat cut into the side of steep hill with the cuts acting as backstops so bullets would keep on going. The challenge was to see who could knock down the most stacked aluminum (aluminium to you Brits) soft drink cans. My friend - D, let's call him - set the rules. You fired until each can in a stack of six was hit and moved out of position, starting top and working down. The aluminum cans were so soft that a fast round from a 9 mm or a .22 Winchester magnum could pass through with disturbing the can if you didn't hit it correctly (on the rim). I used a single action revolver - a Ruger 6.5 inch barreled pistol chambered for .22 magnum. D used a Walther P38, 9X19 mm semiautomatic loaded with 8-round magazines. The distance was 10-15 yards (this was about 50 years ago now). While D could hit his can(s) consistently, and could fire more rounds before a reload, and had three magazines, he had trouble with precise placement (you had to hit the rim). Consequently, I, with my slow single-action revolver, took down my entire set of cans, and then half of D's. My barrel was longer, and double actions are just plain harder to hold on target as you work the trigger, so the easy pull of my revolver permitted better accuracy. D tried my revolver and offered an even trade of that WW II p38 for my Ruger.
One thing to note as well is the grip angle. The single action has much more angle on the grip so it can be comfortably held at waist or perhaps stomach height, so you can quick draw, fan the hammer, and just generally pull back the hammer with the other hand. The double action has an almost 90 degree angle for the grip so that it can be held up, arm out and parallel to the ground to aim down the sights, as you don't need to get your other hand up to pull the hammer and can just hold it up and fire away.
Also though they came about, it did take a while as a much more vigorous pull was needed on the double action to turn the barrell and fire, which could make things innaccurate with a hard squeeze, unlike single action where it only need a gentle squeeze to fire
Not to mention the no-action revolver, which required a hammer, a nail and a steady hand to actually fire.
Purists still swear by its low misfire rate.

It's actually the actionless revolver,which the trigger does nothing and you have to push the hammer really hard

I had thought that when they fanned the hammer they also had to pull the trigger over and over. I just thought they all had ridiculously good timing
omg i thought that too before watching this
Mee too hahahaha

I actually thought the opposite, that they repeatedly pulled the trigger while the hammer was all the way back.
@@HiJack3r I thought both lol I'm confused help
I think it would be a good idea to mention one more thing: single action trigger pull is much shorter and lighter than double action which helps to shoot more accurately. Therefore most modern double action revolvers still allow you to manually cock the hammer for that shorter and lighter single action trigger pull.
Well that's generally speaking. You can have a double action trigger that is creeping and stiff as fuck because it's a crappy trigger. But of course you are correct, I was also kinda missing that he mentions double into single action because that's still pretty darn popular with modern handguns, many military forces today use a double into single automatic. Though of course not a revolver.
I was about to mention this until I saw your comment.
Andrzej Ciecieręga Thanks for that. I was wondering why the firing pin stayed cocked, and that makes sense.
"helps to shoot more accurately" ...... I would give you that mate apart from the fact that a lot of the old single action Colt type pistols had the tiny groove of a rear sight on the head of the hammer, and the front sight was a pimple, so aiming accurately is a bloody nightmare compared to say a Remington New Model or a S&W Model 3 (which the Webleys were almost copies of), or the Adams / Beaumont Adams English pistols of the same era. When it comes to ease of sighting all the Colts I own score very low (all of mine are the main model 1850s and 1860s Colts).
Its horses for courses mate. The British Army gave Sam Colt a go with his 1851 Navy and adopted it as the issue revolver for a while....till troops returning from the Crimea and then the Indian Mutiny sent in a stack of complaints about it jamming due to caps falling into the mechanism/cylinder face, a pig to aim in the heat of a skirmish due to the crappy sights, and too low a caliber to be effective (in one report a Brit officer was cut down by a Sepoy after shooting him 3 or 4 times with his Colt Navy to little effect). Thats why Brit officers preferred the heavy caliber lower velocity SA/DA Webleys and Adams revolvers with solid or wedge frames and frame mounted rear sights, and Sam lost the contract to Adams and the LAC. Adams & LAC kept the contract till after the end of the Zulu Wars.
After LAC the contract passed, for a short time, to Enfield and then to Webley.
I didn't say anything about any particular model being better than others. I just said that if you have any DA/SA revolver it is easier to shoot this specific gun accurately with manually cocked hammer and single action trigger.

“Cowboys” carried on an empty chamber. So only five rounds were expendable in a single action revolver. They carried on an empty round so that if the gun was dropped and landed on the hammer it wouldn’t have fired.
No it was for holstering the pistol in order for it to avoid shooting the owners leg
No it was because cowboys couldn't count higher than 5

Guy Pierson people choosing to do so today doesn’t change the etymology of the phrase.
@@guypierson5754
Dr Stapley of Loughborough University established that putting the milk in after the boiling water is incorrect, as it causes the milk to heat unevenly (as opposed to pouring the water on top of it). This uneven heating of the milk causes the proteins in it to denature, meaning they lose their structure and “clump”, affecting the taste and contributing to that skin you get on the top. So when someone says they can tell if you put the milk in first or second in the tea you’ve made for them just by tasting it, turns out they probably can.
Milk in first, or tea. Just do whatever you want.
@@dawnless852British Standard BS6008 (or ISO3103) "Preparation of a liquor

Thumb Injuries DO Cut your Rate-of-Fire, however...And you ideally carry a Pair, or Brace, of pistols to Eliminate the need for reloading. If Twelve Shots won't Get You Out, you should have brought your AR or SLR...And Automatics hold MANY more rounds, and reload in a second or less in the MIDDLE of a Gunfight..
Good discussion. Some things of note:
With the 'Colt' revolver, the common carry was 5 shots, with an empty chamber under the hammer, to avoid a discharge if the gun was dropped--the lockwork was a bit weak. The procedure was to load one, skip a chamber, then load four more. This put the empty chamber under the hammer for carry.
The Webleys were often modified to fire double action only as a safety measue (can't have troops running around with cocked revolvers, can we??)
The break-open frames, such as the Webley and early Smith & Wessons had that weak point at the latch, so as revolvers became more powerful, 'solid' frames with swing-out cylinders became the norm.
Thanks again for an enjoyable video!!
Wow so the brits were overly safety minded even back then...
I’d like to amend your statement, around 90% of revolvers usually we’re loaded with 5 rounds until the invent of a transfer bar around the late 1880’s if I’m remembering correctly, as the hammers of single actions and the early double actions had the firing pin on the hammer it’s self instead of what most revolvers have now which is either a hammerless design or where the hammer hits a piece of metal which sends the firing pin forward and strikes the primer fired the bullet
@@colehiggins8035 has nothing to do with the fireing pin on the hammer, as smith and wessons and colts where safe to carry 6 chambers loaded since the 1890s and had fireing pins on hammers untill the late 90s.
it has to do with a blocking bar in the frame that does not let the hammer fall far enough to hit the fireing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed
One additional detail about double action revolvers: you can cock the hammer and this makes the trigger pull much lighter. If you pull the trigger in double action the travel is quite long and you have to pull harder which may throw your aim off and delay your shot. With a cocked hammer a light squeeze is enough and you get an instant shot.
There are also double to single action striker fired pistols. The Beretta m9 for example. First shot is a long pull, remaining 14 or 15 short pulls for better accuracy. It is much much harder to shoot yourself in the leg with a 5-9 lb pull trigger, and your average excitable Brit will shoot himself in the leg pretty often. Brits go off flooffy around guns. It would be cute except for the whole shooting themselves in the leg part.
@@theminister1154 The M9 is not striker fired, it's hammer fired. Also, nitpicking, but it's a bit weird to say "Beretta M9". It's either a "Beretta 92FS", or the "Pistol, Semiautomatic, 9mm, M9". The former is the make and model, the latter is the US DoD designation for said make and model.
@@wurfyy right you are
So Mccree's revolver in overwatch is unrealistic since when he fires it acts like a double action pistol but he can still fan the hammer.
It wouldn't be hard to believe they could invent a double action revolver that you could also fan the hammer with in the future
Could be some sort of DA/SA where running the hammer still turns the cylinder. It's probably not impossible. It just fell out of favor is all with the DAs that came after the Colt SAA.
@@Wishuponapancake what's the point though? The hammer and trigger is mechanically linked so all he would have to do is take his off hand put it in the trigger guard and move it back and forth as fast as he can. That would probably be faster than fanning the hammer.

Well said, Lloyd. As an American who spent his morning shooting a Double Action Smith and Wesson, you did a great job.
Single Action Army... Revolver Ocelot's favourite weapon. You should practice his little gun juggling routine and make a little video. That'd be fun.
Finally, a man of culture.
That would be... pretty good
Bloke on the Range is a good dude for letting Lindy mess about with his shooters, but I doubt he's gonna want anyone throwing them in the air over and over, I'm sure he's rich since, you know, where he is and what he owns, but there's a limit to how much cash you wanna write off to help a mate make a cool vid.
I can do some of the routine.
Not all of it cause I was learning the ones from MGS3 and it implies throwing the gun in the air and catching it, which I won't try.
The rest is fairly easy, the hard part is using your left arm to do stuff it has never been asked to do before.
Came to the comment section looking for somebody whining about revolvers not being pistols. Glad to report I didn't find anyone doing that. They usually come out of the woodwork in a revolver video.
Lindybeige is a teaching institution of sorts.
A case of unique talent to convey knowledge.
Well done.
I just learned something about single actions, thank you
Edit: the thing I didn't know was that you could hold the trigger down to fan a single action revolver.
I learned I had it backwards all along hehe. I always thought single action fired in one pull of the trigger, and double action required two action, cocking it then pulling the trigger.
Kinzuko something important that isn't mentioned is that double actions can usually be used as single actions. It reduces trigger pull quite a bit, so it's much easier to shoot accurately
Correct me if I'm wrong but the correct term is round and not bullet? I was always taught the bullet is the actual projectile whereas the round is the projectile, propellant, case and striking cap assembly?
Mark, So if someone asks you for a bullet do you grab a "round" with pliers and jerk out the "bullet" or do you merely fire it at them?
Charles Wood well, I'd suggest they go see the armourer :)

Should we invent a quadruple-action pistol so as to divide putting the milk and tea into different actions to avoid the milk being put first?
But what about the sugar?
IDKHOWTOPLAY forget about the milk. just put the tea in !
I just stick with the single-action.
It the one annoying thing about the Brits putting milk in your tea.... But it is overall teh only major flaw so i still like em,
IDKHOWTOPLAY The Koreans did actually produce a triple action automatic in the late 80s-mid 90s.
What a beautifully explained video.
You sir, just gained a subscriber
Couple things
1: Generally the Colt Single Action army and other revolvers like it of the era were generally only loaded with 5 rounds because the firing pin was on the hammer directly which means if you loaded six, then holstered the revolver then had an accident that bumped the hammer, the firing pin goes into an empty chamber rather than a live one and shooting you in the leg or foot or whatever.
2. Another common type of revolver starting in about the 1850s to about 1870s were cap and ball revolvers, black powder revolvers that had to be hand loaded then used a percussion cap, And they too were single action only, but they ran the risk of chain fire since loose powder and hot sparks and gasses might cause other loads to ignite and the revolver to explode in your hand.
A British gun that was designed to make tea? Take my money.
Hold it right there!
You can't have it put the milk in first, that's heresy!

No they are real guns. At 1:19 he says the they are all real. The first is a single action colt that i believe is a pedersoli or other brand that made replica working guns. Real guns just made in the 1970s/80s instead of 1870s /1880s. You can buy them online for $300-$500 instead of the real old west guns that are $3000-$5000. But in this instance he does not mean replica/nonfiring guns that a lot of europeans have because they cant own firearms a lot of the time
dry firing 38 caliber revolvers doesn't really damage the gun though
A bit uneducated in this subject, so why? Is it because the hammer goes slightly further forward than if a round was in front of it?
@@sumvs5992 if you dry fire guns the firing pin can hit against gunmetal insife the gun/firing pin can break over time because diffrence in metals. More of a problem on older guns. Whole point that dry firing can damage is just the firing pin can get damaged an cost you $40-$80 to get fixed

Also if you wanted to invade the UK or the States you'd pick the UK any day. It's citizens can't fight back. I do believe armed citizens are a massive deterant to foreign invasion.
true civilians having guns may pose as a deterrent and maybe towns police stations should have an armoury for national defence to be distributed in the case of invasion. however a standing centralised army would make that almost irrelevant yes it poses an advantage if we have to muster gorilla defence, but to be realistic us being allowed pistols isn't going to do anything to resist a military armed with body armour. youd need shotguns and rifles which are legal to own in the uk already. as far as pepper spray goes its a good idea till you get sprayed because you walk past a nervous woman at night however if they receive guidance on how and when to use spray would be a good idea and if it was a choice id be buying my sister a can right now. however when scared people will escalate to the biggest option... you have a gun hear a noise you shoot... you have pepper spray you hear a noise you spray... your unarmed you hear a noise the most you can do is punch them but first you have to close the distance by that time you can ID the threat
@@jackcloud4728 "you have a gun hear a noise you shoot... you have pepper spray you hear a noise you spray..."

Slow to load? Try a Colt 1861 Navy some time ;)
And about 10 minutes. Five if you've got a lot of practice.
Mine is a .44.
You don't need a screwdriver unless you're cleaning the nipples or inside of the action.
The '61 Navy is only in .36. You must have a '60 Army, which looks exactly like the Navy but is slightly larger and fires .44.
It's a replica, produced in .44. Italian made.
... or if you're knocking out the block so that you can swap in a pre-loaded cylinder (not unusual at the time).
Bullets are the projectile. Cartridge is a complete piece of ammo with primer, powder, and bullet contained in a case. You don't eject 'bullets' (other than down the barrel at five or six hundred miles/hour...) you eject empty cases, or cartridge cases.
You were bang on as far as single or double action referring to what the trigger does. Brilliant.
The 'lever' is the hammer 'spur'. Some revos do not have spurs as they are 'double action only',
The Enfield and S&W you showed are actually Double action/single action, as they are capable of both. Some pistols are double action only and the hammer can not be cocked other than by pulling the trigger.
Also, you are spot on in regards to calling them pistols. Some buggerer back in the 60's decided that autos were 'pistols' and revolvers were 'revolvers.
If you look at old adverts, particularly from Colt, they call them 'revolving pistols'.
So good job there.
All in all, for someone with little exposure to firearms, you did a passable job.

The Schofield Model 3 had the Top Break Design similar to the Enfield shown in this video. Although Smith and Wesson weren't the first ones to use the Top Break design, they did manage to utilize it in the Single Action Revolvers. The U.S. Calvary actually favored the Schofield over the SAA since they could reload the Schofield while on horseback efficiently using their leg to open and close the Top Break mechanism. The problem was the Schofields cylinder was shorter than the SAA had and by the end of the 1870s the the military were transitioning to 45 Caliber Long Colts for side arm rounds. Had Smith and Wesson modified the cylinder to handle the Long Colt, the Military would probably have stuck with the Schofield over the SAA.

The NuggetBacon please tell me you spelt that wrong ironically
The thing is it does happen. Guy I knew had some photos taken with a revolver that used to belong to Elvis. Somehow it had made it's way to the UK, been deactivated & ended up as a collector's piece.
This was around when most digital cameras where still pretty junky, so a lot of people were still using film for higher quality stuff. He got a call from the developing place that he was to come & get the pics, which is odd for a start, usually you just pick them up whenever.
So he goes down to get them & there's a whole bunch of cops waiting, demanding to know what all these pics are with a bunch of lads pointing a silver revolver at each other. They weren't happy with just his word for it either, they held him until they had contacted the owner, then released him under caution until someone had visited the owner to check the gun & the credentials.
That was probably about 15 years ago & the cops here are probably a bit worse now.The culture here around guns is generally one of fear & ignorance. It's pretty sad tbh.
He calls a revolver a pistol cause he’s British

@@sevenguardians7517 *The second amendment.
I love your videos, as they always contain all the relevant information in a neat small and easy to digest package, but this one has a major deficiency: pulling back the hammer manually on a double-action revolver is not useless at all. You can aim much better if you use a double action revolver in single action mode, because it has a much lighter trigger pull. Some double action revolvers have a MASSIVELY heavy trigger pull which makes accurate aiming at long distance very difficult. If you are not in a hurry and need to take careful aim, it's much better to manually cock the hammer.
You can fan a double action revolver, you just wouldn't bother because you lose deliberate precise aim. Also double action revolvers in most cases still have a single action capability. By cocking the hammer back you get a shorter pull and lighter trigger which usually results in better accuracy. If you have time enough to take deliberate aim you will almost certainly cock the hammer back.
does not revolve though, so you cannot.
I have a revolver 3 feet from me I can assure you when the hammer comes back the cylinder moves. Seems Lloyd does not understand the concept of trigger reset. I guess he can be forgiven that being a Subject of the crown which is to say little opportunity to handle a live firearm.
AKlover Well, to be fair, he was referring to fanning as a sort of bump fire variant with emphasis on holding the trigger. He still should've clarified that DA/SA revolvers can be cocked, however, so, yeah, he could be misleading with that point, lol
Are you seriously sitting there telling me that you don't know what fanning means, you fucking dumbass kid?
And for your information, not that I think that you can comprehend any of it, I was shooting before I ever started playing video games, which was more than 30 years ago. And if my disposition is somewhat sour and if I lash out, it's because I've fucking had enough of you fucking cretins who talk about guns and possibly even bought one, but can't be fucking bothered to figure out a single fact before you start spewing made-up shit on the internet.
AKlover, you cannot fan the hammer of a S&W 686. As long as you keep the trigger held back, the gun is in full lockup and the cylinder won't budge. You can release the trigger and slap the hammer back, but it's still necessary to pull and release the trigger for each shot. That's not fanning, that's just cocking it like a spaz. It's analogous to slam-firing a pump shotgun. On an old 1987 trench shotgun, you can hold the trigger back and fire as fast as you can cycle the pump. If you try it on a modern shotgun, it won't work. You have to reset the trigger between shots.
I am very interested to know if this video has seen a surge in views since the release of Red Dead Redemption 2?
Craig Jones thats where i cane from as you can tell from my profile pic lol
That was very clear and expertly done. The British accent gives this video some class. 👍
Unloading the cylinder of the single action can go VERY fast if you practice...
MUCH much faster than LB did it.
Another thing to note not brought up in the video, you can cock a double action eith your hand not held down on the trigger, giving a much easier trigger pull.
An easier and lighter trigger pull is a massive help for accuracy, as you don't have to pull the hammer or turn the cylinder under tension. It also decreases the time from when you decide to shoot and when you actually do
Personally though, single actions are more fun for recreational shooting :)
You make a special point of how being british makes you call revolvers pistols. I am American & I have never heard somebody saying that a revolver does not count as a pistol. It's just a subcategory of pistol. Is there a nationality that makes some distinction there?
Tbh he probably said it just in case it was wrong and triggered Americans started spamming the comments on calling it a pistol
As an American, I know revolvers are pistols, even call mine that. But I've been corrected by people on more than on occasion, "That's not a pistol, it's a revolver." Correcting them doesn't seem to help.
Yeah. In Russia, for some reason, people are separating them. I dont understand why.
Maybe because it's important to separate revolver from pistol when playing Russian Roulette?
Doesn’t pistol just mean “ meant to be shot with one hand?”
I know all this, but your voice is so calming I enjoyed this alot
Not even half way through the video, and I'm already screaming "STOP DRY FIRING YOU FUCK WIT!!!"
The modern gun probably has a transfer bar, but the others *shudder* those poor guns.
I've been dry firing old revolvers for years mate, and I've never had a firing pin break, never had a frame warp, and never had a missfire.
So long as you aren't dry firing revolvers from the 1800s, or otherwise aren't cheaps made of pot metals, you are fine.
It's still a good practices to not dry fire a revolver. You never know how every pin will react to it, and castings/forgings may differ in how they are cooled, or even in the speed of which they do cool.
Lloyd, hopefully if you're unloading (clearing the spent cartridges) all the 'bullets' have gone out the muzzle of the weapon! LOL!
I love this channel, but im an american that grew up with guns, joined the army and was formally trained with my rifle, and now I am a serious firearm and hunting enthusiast.

The fastest double tap I have ever seen was done with a SA revolver. They can also be very fast on the first shot by thumb cocking as they are brought to firing position. S&W style break top single actions are just as fast to load as DA swing out revolvers as well.
Coming back after seeing a bunch of other gun videos and then seeing this one again, I am kinda disappointed in Lindybeige and see why he's not much of an expert in this particular field. He's still quite informative here though and it's not like he's wrong about the basics.
One, single-action still has merits over double-action, and in fact, two, that's why there are guns that are SA/DA. Lindybeige is right for just calling all handguns pistols really - there are revolvers and there are self-loaders or autoloaders. And both types of pistol can have SA, DA, and SA/DA, where you can fire it as a double-action or choose to cock the hammer yourself to fire it in single-action.
The issue with the double-action is that now more things are dependent on your trigger pull, meaning both your finger is now using more force (usually not an issue save for guns with strong hammer springs, a standby of the black powder and early smokeless days when cartridges weren't always reliable), but also the different mechanisms affect how your finger feels its way with the trigger. A double-action trigger has the problem of things described as "creep" and "slop", essentially that your trigger movement has changing levels of force or resistance throughout your trigger pull. An ideal trigger pull is short and "crisp", which translates to being able to shoot exactly at the moment you want to shoot. Crisp triggers are desired by pistol marksmen. That is why, in a SA/DA pistol, a marksman has the choice to manually cock the hammer ahead of time to give them the best trigger pull for a good shot. Single-action is still important. Especially with autoloaders, where the slide action can be used to recock the hammer, making it that all shots can have an SA in terms of trigger pull, except for the first shot which is in DA. Unless, of course, you cock the hammer manually before firing, so all your shots are SA.
I don't know about that Enfield, but my Webley Mk. V (made in 1915) has a trigger weight of approximately 185 pounds in DA and a pull of about 2 feet. I'd feel comfortable shooting it DA at an enemy within bayonet range but anything longer than that and it is MUCH more accurate cocking it manually and firing it SA. It has a noticeably heavier mainspring than any other revolver I own including 2 replica SAAs and 2 replica Colt Navies. Every modern DA revolver I've fired up to a .44 magnum has had a significantly shorter, lighter, and smoother trigger pull.
"BAN ALL SEMI AUTOMATIC WEAPONS!" you mean any handgun made after 1844?
@Ryan Yarnevich Can you explain double action not being semi auto? i looked up the definitions and can only find a semantic reason not to consider double action semi auto. Chuur
@Ryan Yarnevich which is....? Cmon man. As far as I can tell all double actions are semoauto but not all semi autos are double actions.
Also, because a double action revolver chambers the shot before its fired not after, one could consider that the difference.
But honestly if that's you're reasoning it's weak.
Please, just tell me.
@Ryan Yarnevich is that your opinion? I can't find anything about that in any definition.
@Ryan Yarnevich Semi-automatic fire is "pull the trigger many times, shoot many times". If you are going to say that the definition should be because of the action instead of how it's used, then you would have to separately ban different gas and blowback systems... many of which are also in pistols anyway.
There are double-action autoloading handguns, c'mon man. This is a bad hill to die on.
Very educational. Excellent delivery.
You're not wrong to call those pistols, and the men in my family have been considered cowboys for three generation. People are wrong to call revolving action handguns (hereafter referred to as Revolvers) as something separate from pistols. It's about as incorrect as suggesting a revolving longgun is something different from regular rifles, carbines, muskets, blunderbusses/grenade launchers, and shotguns.
Oh my golly. You, sir, are my hero.
" It's about as incorrect as suggesting a revolving longgun is something different from regular rifles, carbines, muskets, blunderbusses/grenade launchers, and shotguns."
Those firearms are actually quite different. A blunderbuss and a grenade launcher are entirely different beasts altogether. A carbine is going to have a shorter barrel and possibly use handgun/lower caliber ammo when compared to a non-carbine version. Ignoring the grenade launcher, to say any of those guns are different from a longgun would be similar to the pistol vs revolver comparison though. however, had you stopped at revolving longgun vs rifle, it would have been an excellent point.
" A blunderbuss and a grenade launcher are entirely different beasts altogether. "
Since when? What we call a grenade launcher is just a breach loading blunderbuss. In fact, the ye olde blunderbuss even came in a grenade launching variant. And the modern 37mm and 40mm is used for the same purposes and more. They can fire large volumes of shot, grenades, signaling devices, less-lethal ammunition, or improvised ammunition. It's literally the same concept, but with metallic cartridges.
"A carbine is going to have a shorter barrel and possibly use handgun/lower caliber ammo when compared to a non-carbine version"
No shit. But a revolving carbine isn't any less of a carbine than a lever-action, pump-action, bolt-action, or semi-auto carbine.
"however, had you stopped at revolving longgun vs rifle, it would have been an excellent point."
Why? I mentioned firearms that have counterparts that have examples with revolving actions, and examples with other actions or are single shot.
never trust anyone else to clear a weapon you handle
ALWAYS trust an official to clear a weapon for you, as you can sue them when it goes off xD
Why shouldn't you have your weapon cleared by someone, who is more experienced with handling guns than you are?
Zwaart because everyone is out to get you
I'm dead sure he just got the gun cleared by someone, took it and pointed at his head and started to pull the trigger to see if it was safe. Will you gun nuts just stop?
he didn't its the police protocol all weapons must be checked to be cleared by a third party before being placed back into the car. hes saying he cleared them and had it confirmed by a third party

Couple of things Lindy. 1 Single action was still very popular until after WW1 cause the Shootists could crack off more shots very accurately. 2 Early double action could be fanned and where fanned when it was necessary.
I think he just didn't have access to the kinds of DA revolvers that could do that. A peculiarity of certain British guns maybe? I'm spitballing

Only in Britain does a man not load or unload his own firearm and act like that makes any sense...
@@guypierson5754 Then why didn't he just say "I checked these guns myself and I can assure you that they are indeed, unloaded" and avoided all the questions? Anyone who is familiar with weapons knows that the first thing that they do when picking up a weapon is verify that it is indeed unloaded. Not ask if a third party verified that the weapon is unloaded. Hell, even though I know that my weapons are unloaded, I still check them EVERY F*CKIN' TIME, just to be sure because I don't want to be another example of someone shooting or being shot by a supposedly "unloaded" weapon. If there is one area where being really pedantic is a major plus, it's when handling weapons.
A cool fact about the Webley and enfield revolvers (I'm American so pistol and revolver are different for me) is that the ring he was talking about that ejected the shells wouldn't eject the loaded ones. In other words if you fired 3 shots and wanted to reload it would eject the 3 spent cartridges but not the loaded ones.

While your general comments are correct there are other things that can come into play. One of my friends challenged me to a bit of a competition on his father's shooting range. The range was a 10 yard by 30 yard flat cut into the side of steep hill with the cuts acting as backstops so bullets would keep on going. The challenge was to see who could knock down the most stacked aluminum (aluminium to you Brits) soft drink cans. My friend - D, let's call him - set the rules. You fired until each can in a stack of six was hit and moved out of position, starting top and working down. The aluminum cans were so soft that a fast round from a 9 mm or a .22 Winchester magnum could pass through with disturbing the can if you didn't hit it correctly (on the rim). I used a single action revolver - a Ruger 6.5 inch barreled pistol chambered for .22 magnum. D used a Walther P38, 9X19 mm semiautomatic loaded with 8-round magazines. The distance was 10-15 yards (this was about 50 years ago now). While D could hit his can(s) consistently, and could fire more rounds before a reload, and had three magazines, he had trouble with precise placement (you had to hit the rim). Consequently, I, with my slow single-action revolver, took down my entire set of cans, and then half of D's. My barrel was longer, and double actions are just plain harder to hold on target as you work the trigger, so the easy pull of my revolver permitted better accuracy. D tried my revolver and offered an even trade of that WW II p38 for my Ruger.
I love you, you wacky bloke! (love from Texas)
yeah
One thing to note as well is the grip angle. The single action has much more angle on the grip so it can be comfortably held at waist or perhaps stomach height, so you can quick draw, fan the hammer, and just generally pull back the hammer with the other hand. The double action has an almost 90 degree angle for the grip so that it can be held up, arm out and parallel to the ground to aim down the sights, as you don't need to get your other hand up to pull the hammer and can just hold it up and fire away.
I thought a double action pistol was when you taped two single action action pistols together, the more you know!
But what if your opponents have katanas? O.O
Well that's why you conceal carry a pommel or two.

th-cam.com/video/7_8BzXING-A/w-d-xo.html
Also though they came about, it did take a while as a much more vigorous pull was needed on the double action to turn the barrell and fire, which could make things innaccurate with a hard squeeze, unlike single action where it only need a gentle squeeze to fire
