There were many complaints about the Colt Lightning and its tiny ejection port.

A man I knew (dated his daughter for some time) collected Lightnings and let me fire several of his user versions, including a .44-40 and a .50-95.

Both abused the case mouths on ejection, and both saw regular jams. He wasn't using black powder, though, just very light charges of smokeless.
