[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 3369857, member: 6064"] I carry my single action 1849 31 cal. black powder revolver fully loaded and caped with the hammer down between nipples on the little spot milled into the cylinder for that purpose. Matter of fact, I don't know where the "only carry 5" in a Colt single action revolver came from. It is complete nonsense! Colt didn't design a 5 shot six shooter. The procedure was to lower the hammer's firing pin down between two case heads. That way if dropped it didn't discharge, and if needed it had all six. I really don't know where these things get started, but that B.S. has been around a long long time. Cavalry manuals from the late 1800s detail the lowering between case heads as the way to carry the Colt. [/QUOTE]
