Single Action Revolver FAQ

Can I load all six chambers in a single action revolver?

On traditional 1873-style designs, the safe practice is five rounds with the hammer down on an empty chamber. Many modern designs, like those with a transfer bar, are built to carry six. Follow the manual for your gun.

What is cowboy action shooting?

A timed sport shot with single action revolvers, lever-action rifles and shotguns of Old West style. Many of the reproduction revolvers here are built with it in mind.
