My son-in-law, his dad and brother and I went to an indoor shooting range at Edmond, OK. I introduced them to Colt's Walker revolver.
I think the "WOW!" from the third shooter pretty much sums it up! ;D

well, it stands to reason, any gun named after a Chuck Norris character has to have it going on. ;D

Love the slow motion of the powder still burning.  When it gets pretty out, I'll have to get my Walker out! |

Looked like the ejector rod popped out on the last shot.

Looked like the ejector rod popped out on the last shot. That's the Loading Lever on the Walker. The Walker is a Cap n Ball revolver. The loading lever presses the ball into the cylinder on top of the powder after it is poured in. The Walker didnt have a proper Loading Lever Lock, like later model Colts did, so the loading lever will sometimes drop down during recoil and the plunger can enter the cylinder/chamber and keep the cylinder from rotating when the hammer is cocked is the shooter doesn't notice it. Shooters use whichever method works best for them to put the loading lever back in place before cocking the hammer. Some will use the weak hand to put it back up. Some will lower the revolver and use the the thigh to push the lever back into place, especially if shooting with a revolver in each hand. I tried a strip of rawhide tied around the barrel of mine and over the loading lever to keep it in place, which was effective, but did interfere with proper sight picture of the front sight. When reloading, I would just slide the rawhide forward, off the loading lever and then back onto the loading lever. I found it was just easier to use my weak hand to push the lever back up. Pulp has a pair of the Walkers and other videos he has posted, he often shoots with a revolver in each hand.so he uses his thigh to put the levers back in place. Naturally, the hammer is resting on an empty chamber when this takes place, so little danger is presented. |
