Revolvers Don't Fire the Way Movies Show You

Every Western ever made shows the same thing. The gunslinger draws, the revolver fires, the scene moves on. The mechanics look clean because everyone already knows how a revolver works. They don't. The way the cylinder locks, the way a hammer-down carry actually operates, the specific sequence of events inside a Colt Single Action Army. Almost none of it works the way a century of films suggests. The real mechanics are more precise, more interesting, and considerably more dangerous. #Revolver #WildWest #Firearms
