I just saw that while I was scrolling down for the new post  ;D
Another trick they used was carrying several pre loaded cylinders.
It's been claimed that when the James boys were riding with Quantrell, raiders they commonly carried 4 revolvers and a half dozen or more cylinders.

Long time ago I had an 1861 Navy that looked identical to this gun.  Except the barrel wasn't flat sided and the cylinder had little ships engraved all around it.  Gave it to a friend who actually got a small buck with it.  Their not just for the range!

TW, only thing about the video I found fault with was the recommendation about the size of the lead balls. I would only use the .454 size, You want to shave off a lead ring when you seat the ball,That helps seal the chamber and will keep the ball in place under recoil.

I've always had good luck with Pyrodex. It is supposed to be "more stable".......... If using Pyrodex, make sure you use the powder marked "P". The "P" is for pistols only and the "R/S" works for rifles and shotguns.
I've always just used the R/S in my rifles over the years to hunt deer and have had good steady accuracy and consistent performance. It also cleans easier than black powder.
I don't have pistols any longer, but have been toying with getting another one. Your post doesn't help to keep it off my mind.  ;)   :D

Pyrodex P is intended to be a direct replacement for FFFg Black powder when measured volumetrically using a black powder measure. The principal uses for Pyrodex P are in muzzleloading pistols, cap and ball revolvers, and in small bore, muzzleloading rifles.
