Comments
Some contemplation of context on the safety "nipple" might be in order. Engaging a safety is not something one typically does in a hurry, but then there was the 1911 design notion of putting the thumb safety on to engage an unruly horse. The Dragoon, however does not automatically cock itself, so it's "safety" might be in (1.) setting the gun up for carry, or (2.) simply shooting out the round in a safe (er) direction if you need to rapidly render the gun semi-inert.

2022-05-19 18:26:58 +0000 UTCSince you are doing repro percussion revolvers, are you considering an episode on the Spiller & Burr? If so, I have a Pietta I can send in to save a few bucks on the production.
