Great video! Having repaired 1877’s over the years, I agree they can be a pain to work on. But I have a possible theory as to why they break down, and it’s the same reason I have repro cap and ball revolvers brought in, TV westerns. I’ve had multiple people tell me how much they love dry firing their empty revolvers at the television while watching westerns. Could that be it? I don’t know😂

@@xmetguy1 yeah back in the 1870s they used live ammo while watching tv, they had much more lax gun safety back then.

The smooth double action trigger pull is key. No funky cocking the hammer with the web of your thumb and index finger on the draw. Just pull and shoot. If you practice enough, guess when it will break? During practice. If by some chance it breaks in a gunfight, it’ll happen after the first couple shots. If you’re good and practiced, chances are the other guy will be dead already. If not, you do the New York reload, which apparently guys like Harding were fully prepared for.

I just like the birdshead grip. Ever since I saw one of these in the billy the kid film 'young guns' in my youth, this has easily been by second favorite after the original 1873 design. It is also interesting how colt was slow on the uptake for dble action; Adms in England was doing them for a while by then! Glad you finally did a vid on one!

I always liked the 1877. That being said, I carry either a P08 Luger in .30 cal or a S&W DA 44 like you described. I figure that both of those have a long history of making folks dead. Thanks for the video.

I've been wondering about this for decades! A local gun shop had one of these hanging in a holster on the wall next to a picture of William Bonney. Of course it would not function. The shop owner explained that you can't keep them running. That just didn't make sense to me, that well known gunfighters would continue to trust a gun that wouldn't run. THANK YOU!, for answering a question I have long had. I think you have explained it very well. The tactical advantage of the double action with that sweet trigger system would have been a huge advantage and the guns were probably far more reliable when new than when age had set in. I can finally put this to rest. Thanks again.

The plethora of frontier-era firearm clones out there exist largely thanks to the large market created by cowboy action shooting -- whose rules prohibit double action revolvers, even authentic ones from the period. Weirdly, to my mind, you can have a modern single action that did not exist back then, such as those SAA clones with bird head grips. That alone was enough to kill any interest I might have had in the sport. I used to own an original, 1883 Smith & Wesson DA frontier model in .44 Russian. When I learned I couldn't shoot it, but other people _could_ shoot modern guns that weren't accurate representations of anything from the cowboy era (as long as they were single action), I just shook my head in disgust. Then add the fact that the competitors shoot these pipsqueak, squib-loaded .38 special handguns, two-handed, in a manner completely inauthentic for the 19th century, all in order to maximize their scores on the clock... The sport had zero interest for me at that point. But it is what drives the market for clones of guns in this period. As long as the rules for cowboy action shooting prohibit DA revolvers, the companies that make these clones probably won't see enough of a market for a gun like this to justify making it, particularly when it's known to have rather delicate lockwork that's prone to breakage.

Unreliability in this case is a relative term. Of course, for reliability I would choose a Webley RIC which I have owned. However, the odds of a 77 breaking at a critical moment would be very low.

The Model 1877 DA had a good natural feel in your hand, and when new, being fitted and timed by factory skilled assembler's, was reliable. Many of these guns have been disassembled and played with over the years by nimrods not familiar with it's intricately designed lock work and were improperly or carelessly reassembled. Old springs and dried out oil or grease also add to problems. Most of the bad reputation the early DA's had was due to light primer strikes. A heavy MS would have made a DA pull difficult, especially for a woman. Eventually ammo makers made primers that would work in the early DA revolvers.

Thank you for the interesting and educational video. I used to own a Colt Lightning long ago when CA still allowed guns to be purchased at gun shows. I saw one there and was interested in the strange appearance, so I bought it even though it had a bulge in the barrel about half way down. The person that I later traded it off to was aware of the bulge, so I am certain that he didn't fire it either. When I was a kid I used to watch fast draw contests, where they had 1, 3 & 5 round events In the one round events, the single actions were always the fastest because the hammer could be cocked while the revolver was being drawn from the holster. It ALWAYS took longer to cock the double actions using the trigger. Therefore, "Lightning" is not an appropriate term for a DA.
