Stop! You're disabusing me of all my cherished notions! Next you'll be telling me that Tuco *didn't* assemble a precision revolver from the parts of 3 others ...

ok won't say a word about that or that two of them he was looking through weren't invented yet. The Galand and the Bodeo.

Gee, you mean Jim Bowie didn't have a Nock Volley gun in The Alamo ?
I am a fan of the old Saturday Afternoon serials, I note how many one shot stops there with 38 Specials and RNL bullets.

I doubt their revolvers got so hot they needed a fan...

Them old shootists that did this were called "fansmans" and were well feared out on the frontier.

Kidding, it's Holly Weird.

I know it's real cause I was watching a spaghetti western today with Lee Van Cleef and they were fanning the heck outta them SOBs!

"We Pointed Them North: Recollections of a Cowpuncher" by C.E. Abbott is a great first hand account of cowboying in the old west. He talks a bit about who wore guns, where, and why. Including some insight on who wore two guns. A must-read for those of us born a century too late.

My wife and I were watching an otherwise entertaining show over the weekend and both were laughing out loud at the fact that somebody got, IIRC, 17 shots out of a revolver without reloading. To make it even funnier, the shooter pulled the trigger one more time and got a click. Darn near fell off the couch then. It wasn't supposed to be a comedy, but sheesh!

Tailgater,

Well now, my most ignorant friend, displayed was probably my 18-shot
revolver that shooters of great discernment have purchased.

Obviously and mistakenly the hero in your movie assumed he could
not have a round under the lowered hammer so he only loaded.17
cartridges.

I'd like to assure all and one that my 18-shooter is perfectly safe
with the hammer down on a loaded chamber unless you are drunk
and prone to hitting the hammer with a hammer.

For more information, consult the internet on UncleEd's
Wonder Wheel Gun patents pending and pending and pending.

Ignore the July recalls regarding malfunctions and burst cylinders.
They didn't amount to much.

Maybe not, but I have had my Super Blackhawk get hot enough after twenty-five or thirty rounds fired to get hot enough to burn my hand, this the cylinder and barrel.

No blistering, but hot enough to be uncomfortable to hold while punching out empties.

UncleEd, I obviously underestimated you. My sincere apologies. Brilliant designer, you are!
