The Lightning and Thunderer are frightfully complex compared to a modern revolver.

There's a great story that when Frank Pachmyer was starting out in his father's gunshop he was working on one of these and became so frustrated that he threw it out the window and into the street.

His father made him pick it up and finish fixing it.
