[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 1781271, member: 5655"] Here's me loading the revolver that started it all, the 1836 Colt Paterson. One has to disassemble the gun in order to load it. The cylinder will hold about 22 gr of black powder and it's comparable to firing a .38 S&W round. Love this gun due to the history it holds and if it wasn't for the Paterson, Colt would not exist. In fact, Sam Colt went bankrupt during this time because these guns were handmade and cost too much to build. Plus Colt wasn't much of businessman. He resurfaced in 1847 when the Texas Rangers commissioned him to built the Walker revolver after they had some success with the Paterson. Of course, this is a replica as the originals are worth a fortune. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i655.photobucket.com_albums_uu277_flatwins_Shooting_paterson.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
