Yeah, on a SA revolver, the cylinder does not flip out. There's a "port"
on the right side of the pistol, typically, a little door that flips
open and you turn the cylinder by hand to line up each chamber with the
port. Then you push out the "empty" with a built in ejector rod that
sits under the barrel. The modern variant of the DA revolver, with a
flip-out cylinder, didn't come along until nearly the end of the 19th
Century, long after the Wild West was tamed.



Yeah, after you mentioned it I looked on You Tube. That doesn't look
like a lot of fun. Guess I'll bypass all the 'cowboy' SA revolvers and
stick with what I've got, although I may consider a .22 DA revolver.

My Ruger Blackhawk and Super Blackhawk are like that. It's not really a big deal, when target shooting I'm not in that much of a hurry. I also save the brass, and one at a time is easier to deal with than a handfull at once.

On the positive side the frames are inherently stronger, so you can shoot maximum loads with no worries. With the right load, the 44 mag or 45 LC will really rock your world. :-)



No, it's not a big deal, as you say. For most of us who are not getting
into gunfights regularly , it's just a matter of personal preference.
I like revolvers, SA and DA, but I prefer the latter even though I fire
them SA mostly, just because of the more convenient (for me) loading and
unloading of rounds.

I really do like revolvers more than semi-auto pistols from the point of
view of aesthetics. Maybe it is because I am an old fart. I like lever
action rifles, too. None of my ancestors were cowboys or even in this
country when the Old West was the Old West. Must be something that got
ingrained in me from all those 25 cent Saturday matinees I went to as a
kid where western movies were "the thing."

Yes, sprouts, when I was a kid, you could go to the local movie house on
Saturday and for 25 cents, you could see movies from noon until 5 pm.
Westerns, space adventures, cartoons, serials...everything.
