heres the thing i have never understood. there really is no evidence to support that a feller carried spare cylinders and swapped them out. if it was done, why hasnt anyone ever found one single photo from the period showing a person carrying multiple cylinders?
cylinder removal and insertion does take longer with a colt. if the wedge comes out its a pain, but with the remington ive seen on here that if you go to far with the cylinder the whole thing ties up and creates a real major issue to get it to go into place.
so toss up on that.
ive read a few posts on here about guys who didnt seat the ball down properly in a revolver. the colt guys seem to either pull the cylinder out pull the bullet out or they remove teh barrel, advance the cylinder by hand and reinstall the barrel and shoot.
on remingtons ive read of unlucky guys who spent the afternoon with a pocket knife cutting excess lead off the bullet till itwas flush with the cylinder face.
botha pain, but colt clearly wins in that.
the only time the remingtons come down to a clear victory is a rear groove sight that never changes from shot to shot. and longer longevity to the full frame.
