Know one can get away with dropping the hammer on a cone. But if it is an expensive weapon....
while that is indeed the ideal, most of the revolvers folks have do not meet the expectationOn a properly set up revolver the hammer never touches the nipple: there is just enough clearance to detonate the cap.
It's simple to do: you file each cone one at a time to achieve proper clearance.while that is indeed the ideal, most of the revolvers folks have do not meet the expectation
To the question at hand....I just use percussion caps. Get a fun bang and you are not messing up your nipples. (when we were kids my dad used to play quickdraw with me and my brother using his revolvers loaded with just percussion caps, fun times, probably not the dad of the year but we were having a blast)
I do basically the same thing but use a foam ear plug cut in half, works for two or three cylinder rotations, falls out and I put it back in, easy peesyA simple solution is to cut a piece of thin leather and lay it in the channel for the hammer, easy to put in and easy to get out.
This is the solution I know of, and if my memory can be trusted (but getting iffy these days), I think it's posted somewhere around here.A simple solution is to cut a piece of thin leather and lay it in the channel for the hammer, easy to put in and easy to get out.
