OK, who makes that cylinder and can I get one for my Ruger Flattop .44 Special?

Well sir, these are complete revolvers made to look like the Colt SAA and as I stated, they were made by ASM, Uberti and Pietta. The nipples are off center and the cyl is engineered to make it extremely difficult to make the revolver into an unmentionable.
The problem with a cap cyl for your unmentionable is it would be rather anemic as the cylinder would be short compared to any other belt pistols like the Colt or Remington platforms.
Sorry about that.

Do you remove the cylinder to reload your six shooter?

Never and no press too.
I bought all my revolvers with a loading lever, and they came with a loading lever.
Maybe if I had bought a Le Mat or a retro-conversion, but I never had any desire for a Le Mat or a cap and ball handgun Peacemaker-looking...

I simply take an extra loaded cylinder. If I was going to shoot more than 12 times I would buy enough cylinders. A luxury though. One will keep you shooting no matter how you load it. .

Dont even use a stand just pure arm power.

No, I just open the gate !!!

The 'unmentionable' gate, that is!

Well, you posted that you'd like to see a C&B revolver with a loading gate . . . ( no mention of a loading lever). My response was exactly what you asked for. That particular one is Pietta I believe.
Uberti and ASM also produced them. It was made for (but obviously sold here as well) the European customers that wanted a SA that looked like the famous Colt SAA.

Mike

Yeah, I've seen them, Taylor's, I think has them; looks like a regular SAA but is percussion cap fired. BTW, a LGS has a Taylor's pre-owned but like-new w/ box Uberti .36 Police Pocket but wants $350 for it! With tax would be 371. Way too high price!

I was wrong. It's an ASM.

Mike

I have an ASM .36 Navy; silver plated TG, nice pistol! ASM's were A-OK, IMHO.
