Double header this Monday morning
“Double header…” A nod to CW for his love of baseball, Jeff? Starting out the work week with a good score of DRTs.
I heard that some of those SAA will fire without even pulling the trigger. Does that mean it’s a Single Action Automatically?
Time for some good men (and women) to do something? If not now, then when? If not us, then who?
Single action Army
One of the hosts on WFTL 850 AM Radio was talking about whats his name that claimed that he didn’t pull the trigger on the movie set, and says that if one lets go of the hammer the weapon won’t fire not bringing up that the gun he was using could have been the earlier version without the transfer bar or the newer model with the bar. All the “Experts” I heard on the radio or news max talking about how they fired never brought up transfer bars execept one person I heard. It seems that these experts never got into or knew about these type of single action “Western guns. Our Gunsmith at Brink’s years ago had a broken MOD 10 .38 S&W which we carried at the time and he was showing some of us how the internal transfer bar worked by hammering the trigger till the trigger broke off and the bar remained intact.
Colt SAA clones will not fire without holding back the trigger when the hammer is released, period. It does not matter whether they are the models with or without a transfer bar or hammer block mechanism. I understand that the Italian SAA’s used on that set were of both types, some with the transfer bar and some with the traditional firing pin fixed to the hammer. Baldwin is lying when he says he never pulled or held back the trigger when he released the hammer. What happens on the non-transfer type when one releases the hammer before the sear engages full-cock is that the hammer falls to the half-cock position and stops. In the transfer bar SAA’s the release of the hammer also cannot fire because the press of the trigger is what raises the hammer bar.
Finally, all the experts have ignored the fact that if the hammer is not pulled all the way back to full cock, the cylinder does not rotate fully so that the chamber is aligned with the barrel and thus the firing pin won’t …
align with a primer of any cartridge.
Small correction to the gun article, Eli Whitney is who developed using interchangeable parts in mass manufacturing, not Colt. However, Colt is credited with being the first to apply that to GUN manufacturing.
Is the Decatur police department going to loose their redneck card for hiring someone with an Hispanic last name as their spokesman? (/s)
Not bad FGS outcomes, but I really have a problem with the sin of covetousness when it comes to that Colt SAA.
Thanks. Nice to get a compliment instead of a ration of grief, opened with a P38 and heated over burning C-4 by a certain dirt digging doggie.
*grin*
LOLed earlier…still giggling! 😜
Just go buy a couple and you will be cured of this sin. Even I am a covet sinner when it comes to those D engraved guns like the one depicted above, and I have seven Colt SAA’s.
