An entertaining, thoughtful, and informative review. I have an original model Ruger Vaquero with a transfer bar. It is my only single action Colt-type revolver and it only travels back and forth to the range. I am the only one who uses it. I see no issue loading the cylinder with six rounds.

This is something i really love about gaming, it's an excellent way to introduce people to different historical periods, different cultures and hell, sometimes different philosophies. And sure, a video game must, much like a movie, constantly walk the line between entertainment and accurate portrayal. However in my opinion, RDR2 does a good job of maintaining the balance between the two, AND videos like these are excellent to prove or disprove such things as well!

So everyone is here because of rdr2. Am I the only one who's here because of ma boy Ocelot?

Dustin Winegar the cowboy load is a modern loading technique and doing so is obviously a good idea, but its not true saying it was done back in the late 1800s, they carried them fully loaded browse through the court documents from the OK Coral shootout all the cowboys with handguns had them loaded with 6 and they were not expecting a gunfight they were preparing to ride out of town

I’ve loved guns my whole life. And I collect them. But I also love video games and I’ve loved that my entire life as well. RDR2 has been one of my favorites ever. It took 2 years from announcement to launch but it’s here finally lol. I don’t personally care that video games get gun stuff wrong. They’re game developers not gun experts. And I have to add that RDR2 is the best I’ve ever seen when it comes to gun correctness (and about everything else pretty much) I hope you like the game. And good video

I run a cavalry roleplay group on PS4 for rdr online and we really enjoy history and stuff like this but I've only seen people do videos on a few guns but there are plenty of amazing firearms including the 1851 navy and le mat (with a speeded up reload of course) the first game is the one that got many of the reloads wrong but is still a very good and enjoyable experience. I actually met all of my friends on there when we were kids at it helped mold our love for history and firearms.

I learned handgun shooting with a Colt SAA back in the 1950s. Been shooting SAs ever since, and although I have owned and shot DAs and Semi-autos I still prefer the SA as my go to weapon. They have a "point-ability" I have never been able to duplicate with any other type handgun! Saved my life late one night in near dark conditions! I learned on day one the load one, skip one, load four method! In later years as I acquired several Ruger SAs with the Transfer Bar safety system it took me a while to feel comfortable loading 6!

Here is a additional detail for some folks with revolvers. Have you wondered about why some single action revolvers have swing out cylinders (pops out to the side not the top) while some do not? It is because people learned over time when using top break revolvers the frame can bend from the stress. This will require the gun to get fixed. It can cost a lot of money for some people. Also when one has been used a lot they might pop out of the slot when firing. What people learned was that the old solid frames and loading this old fashion way was more durable and lasts longer from stress of use during time. This is what caused some international militaries to quit using a top break revolver and switch to one that loads like this. Around the later years in the 1800s someone figured out a solution to have a quick ejection of a top break but still had the longevity of the solid frames. It was the swing out cylinders. I have heard there was some additional details that might have been involved to require the concept to be improved on before it became more popular. The end result basically is not everyone opted to use a swing out cylinder and not every gun on the market had them for this personal opinion about longevity and who they were trying to sell too. You did in fact have a lot of guns during this time on the market for civilians to have many ways loaded, ejected a bullet, or how the cylinder came out. During this time it was also not unheard of a revolver owner to send his gun to a gunsmith to be changed. (Solid frame with a load out cylinder to be turned into a swing out cylinder, top break, or etc. There was even a thing where people retrofitted their old percussion cap musket loading style revolvers to be turned into a more modern top beak cartridge guns. I think there was even a thriving business of one gun product that offered this literally a few years or year after the Civil war ended. It's a long story of why they were doing this for another time) Also I have heard the classic solid frames with the loading gate classic reload feature was actually cheap to manufacture and sell compared to other types of guns during one period. This kind of influenced it being more seen in use. This means it is not technically wrong to see a "cattleman's revolver" load differently in whatever media you see. The word I hear is really a umbrella term people created later on maybe in the late final years of the 1800s when everything was ending or by the generation that lived after it ended. More specifically it is the media that markets something with a cowboy gimmick (cowboy gun) will often use this term to sell to this post 1800s generation that is interested in the wild west. The term "Cattleman's revolver" I hear originated to refer to guys working in livestock and ranching that sometimes had to use a revolver to kill a venomous snake, coyote, or any other varmint that wondered onto their property with the ability to pose a threat to their animals. The guns they typically used I hear was not really top of the line advance for the time. They just needed a basic gun. The purpose was for giving a warning shot to rethink about messing with his animals or flag out kill it. For this you don't really need a advance top of the line fancy gun. You just need, "A gun." As mentioned before the classic old solid frames were cheap at some point and when the market started to sell more advance guns I think they gotten cheaper. This is what lead to some using very old revolvers and guns and led to the evolution of the term, where businesses started using the name as a marketing gimmick. Then it lead to being used in entertainment media. "This is the gun used by cowboys. It is the cattleman's revolver." The reason why some of these ranchers used whatever gun that was cheap, old, or not always the advance for the time is because during old days the life of ranching could be a lonesome career. You did not always meet many people other than those with you working. This means more often you might had to use this on wild animals than people. For outlaws, competitive shooters, and lawmen of the time they might use something more advance/advantageous for combat. You would still find some still using the old fashion style of revolver though. It honestly came down to preference, opinion, and what you could afford in those days.

Love this series!

Another reason why I love Red Dead Redemption 2 is your now seeing people getting into these Old West Guns.

Thanks for another good video, Dustin. I belong to your original age group of viewers, and I prefer to shoot in the real world than in a video game. Part of the reason why I don't play these games is that I had been in real firefights before, while in the military. I have never seen it as a game. But thanks for this video anyway. It gives everyone a glimpse into fantasy vs reality.

An old video Dustin but this is my first viewing of your video. You were comparing the real gun to the gun in the video game regarding the seam on the front of the frame. On a hunch I looked up the bb gun reproductions of the Colt SAA on Amazon. There is one being sold by Colt and another by Crossman (possibly the same gun) and they both have the seam in the frame. Maybe at one point the video game designers were looking at the bb gun for reference.

My first experience with a revolver was a cowboy action single action six shooter. It was calibrated in 44-40. They are serious handguns and should never be under estimated.

Do you twist your elbow to absorb the recoil? Because I’ve heard that’s a revolver technique, but this is an informative video, you’re pretty good

Love the videos, and that longer barrel version of the 73 is growing on me. (used to think shorter ones were cool - until I actually started shooting them!) A point to consider re the 'cowboy load'... And I mean no offense, but am merely wondering... There is I think some debate about whether or not this was done historically, and to what degree both with cap and ball and cartridge guns like the 1873. Current safety doctrine with single action style revolvers among modern shooters is to utilize the ‘cowboy load’ (5 of six) but... How much this was actually ever done by cowboys, or civil war soldiers, or prospectors, or stagecoach robbers, or old west gun fighters, is an open question - especially as in the cap and ball days they had the option of resting the hammer between chambers, and modern black powder shooters, generally speaking, are shooting for recreation, not counting on their guns to save their lives, or take another. While our 19th century ancestors were as aware of firearms safety as we are today - probably more so, as guns were much more commonplace in daily life and virtually all the firearms in use at the time as far as handguns went, had no mechanical safety -- there is something to the argument that the ‘cowboy’ load of loading five chambers out of six is, if not exactly a modern invention, then something popularized by modern shooters. This may be particularly so in cowboy action shooting where it is enforced at competitions and events as a safety rule all are required to follow. Most of these people are using versions of the 1873 cartridge gun which does not have such ‘safety’ notches. It may be that historically, regarding loading only five, some did this and some did not, but less so with cap and ball revolvers than the later 1873 single actions. What is unlikely is that outside of routine carry anyone ever loaded only five if he knew he was going to need the gun immediately or soon after loading. It has been claimed there is no reference to this historically, among gunfighters. While this is a subject probably better left to historians and research, shooters know how these guns work, and their mechanical limitations, and they did then, in the 19th century, as well. My educated guess is, when carrying the gun daily, some may have used an empty chamber, some a safety notch. But if someone knew he was going into a fight, or a battle, he likely loaded all chambers (which is probably the reason original Colt cap and ball guns had the safety notches and pins to begin with - why didn't colt carry that or a slot between chambers, like the remington new model army, over to their cartridge gun?) Just some thoughts... Thanks again for the vids!

Don't forget, these were also available with cuts in the grip and frame for a shoulder stock.

You should analyze the shooting and trick techniques of Ocelot in the Metal Gear Solid series, particularly #3 (my favorite). He uses the same wheelgun. A lot of people just call him "Revolver Ocelot," and he deems himself a cowboy by wearing spurs. You can find the cinematics and boss fights with him easily on YT

While some video games from what I hear are fairly accurate, some are not. Great vid Dustin.

From my understanding the cowboy load was useful for keeping it loaded and ready, but once in a fire fight and reloading, you would load all 6 after the first 5 were fired as having an empty chamber didnt matter at that point. Good video not trying to insult, but it didnt really cover when or why youd load the 6th round, just that youd load 5.

Ideally, the star ejector should travel only far enough to pull empty brass-- any unfired cartridges should have their projectiles still in the chambers to prevent them falling out. Though I don't have much confidence of that feature actually working as intended while you're bouncing on horseback.

You should look at the reload animations of a game called Hunt: Showdown

Being a gun owner, and an owner of colt 45 single action army. As well as a gamer. I was actually pleasantly surprised by Rockstar's attention to these details. Yes there are a few details that they got wrong, but I can forgive those. My favorite gun in the game is colt single action army, or the cattlemen revolver as it's called in the game. Because of the fact that I own one, and I practice with it quite a bit.

I was really hooked when you said that you had advantage. But I dont see it.

Dustin what is your take on the schofield model 3?

Do a video about the S&W Model 3 revolver

At 4:20 I'm Impressed that Colt had an internal safety policy to report potential damage issues as far back as 1873. There were no "product liability laws" back in those days, but Colt was honest enough to admit that keep the hammer "half-cocked" was no insurance for complete safety. I'm impressed with the safety of the "cowboy load" and Colt's warning about being "half-cocked" was no insurance for safety. Great video. This is a great history lesson for somebody like me who is only now learning "gun safety". I'm glad to hear that "gun safety" was practiced almost 150 years ago.

You can load 6 rounds. But only do it if you’re planning on shooting 6 rounds. But I heavily agree, only cowboy load your revolvers for safety

With that frame seam, I have to assume they must have scanned a toy or cheap replica at some point and liked the look of that defect.

This had to be a whole new level of stress to reload in the heat of battle

In the game its called the cattleman’s revolver so that would be why it’s different

Nice.

I have lots of 1873s and use them for ccw. Another thing movies get wrong is the person cocks the gun for intimidation and then lowers the hammer and holsters it-hammer resting on a live round then.

I mean i get that replica single action armys are much cheaper, but I haven’t actually come across a KZreadr with a real one outside of Hickok45. Personally im here because of read dead 2 which lead me down a western rabbit hole lol. But i gained a single action army, a colt manufactured one (a more modern one), when my grandfather passed away so the model has a lot of meaning to me which has caused me to learn a lot more about western style weapons like revolvers and lever guns.

Special operations FOXHOUND. Revolver Ocelot. - Revolver Ocelot

That's the closest 1873 Colt clone made, closer than a new Colt itself..I just ordered mine with the 5.5" barrel..

I got the same gun whit a pearl grip and silver metal style

If you were loading for immediate action I suppose you could go ahead and load all six, but I'd never carry that way. One definite advantage of the 1851 and 1860 pattern revolvers (and the New Army) is the ability to rest the hammer between cylinders allowing the full six to be carried.

Also about the cowboy load, they actually touched up on the inaccuracy by adding a encounter in Rhodes where a npc doesn’t do the cowboy load and he shows off to his friend by playing with a new gun he bought and he shoots either his friend, or he shoots himself in the leg

Hey how has that Pietti held up for you? Ive seen some negative reviews online, but I think they're mainly for the 44 mag, so maybe they can't handle the magnum loads. Can you fire hot 45LC in your Pietti?

This gun has been great! I’ve never looked into hot loads for it because I only shoot black powder cartridges in it. Thanks for watching!

Also, it helps to get a Cimarron. It will still be made by Pietta, but the guns they make for Cimarron seem to be held to a higher standard of quality.

Do you think they took their references froman airsoft version? My Airsoft version has a seam, and a screw sideways instead of in in the front where it is on a real one.

45 to 65 eh? I'm 29. I very much like your videos. Old west style guns are my favorite firearms.

I've got a question: is it normal for all of that smoke when you fired the gun? Seems a little much. Was that due to the kind of cartridge you use perhaps? BTW, I like guns, but I prefer airgun replicas, like my Umarex Colt Peacemaker .177 pellet one. Cheaper to buy, and to use, and less lethal. How about comparing it to a real one for realism? Thanks for sharing.

These are black powder cartridges, which was available in the old west, so that’s how smoky the gun would have been. I also have the Umarex Colt Peacemaker and I love it! That’s a great idea to compare it to a real one. I’ll do it, but I’ll probably do it on my new airgun channel. It’s called Airguns Are Amazing. Here’s a link to the channel: kzread.info/dron/1eihOVYgVfa5nrDBgyZyMg.html

@@GunsOfTheWest Ok, that explains the extra smoke! Thanks for the link to your new channel!

this is the greatest handgun ever made

In rdr3 they better model you as one of the gunsmiths because you already look like one and I think that’s awesome lmao

I'm just a little beyond the upper range of your usual age range viewers, but been seeing a lot of Red Devil Redemption 2 stuff everywhere and wondering if maybe it's it's time to dabble in gaming a little.

Me too. I’m normally not interested in video games, but we bought this one for Christmas. Looking forward to trying it.

John Ratko I’m so hooked. This game is incredible. I’m letting my dad borrow it for a few days though so time for real life.

I have a real one and seeing it in game makes me happy

Also the long Barrel for the Cattleman in Game is a bit to long, it appears over 7.5“, looks strange like 9“ or so. Same same for some other Guns.

Wait til they start talking about Overwatchs character Ashe and her Winchester Variant. Looks to be a toggle lock lever action 44-40 by the case length when she reloads her, yes blizzard screwed this up, "semi-automatic" rifle lol

Excellent Single action information. I only wish more people used common sense when handling these firearms. Some of the Cowboy Action events I have attended, sure needed to be more careful . Several accidents have happened over the years by "cowboys" not being very careful with proper gun etiquette.
