Adams Patent: The First Double Action Revolver
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 мар 2016
- When we filmed this video these guns were set to be sold over the next several days in our 2016 February Regional Auction,and I knew I wanted to get them on film before they left our doors.
These four guns are a part of the evolution of the Adams Patent revolver, the first double action revolver commercially produced.

It's like an alternate universe where Ian McCollum doesn't exist!
+Abe From an Who would choose to live in such a cold, dark place? (P.S. Great screen name)
Don't forget the century and a half + age of of those guns when judging how well the catches work.
The little trap in the bottom of the grip is for storing extra caps.
También se pueden guardar unos cuantos fulminantes...
Hey just with the safety on the Beaumont Adams it's meant to be applied at half cock, or with the hammer just slightly back on the first notch so it doesn't protrude out the opening in the frame. Once you have done this you can push the safety forward and there's actually little cut outs in the cylinder where it goes into. Thus stopping it from rotating, which in turn stops the trigger and hammer moving.
Cheers! Lovely video, I just wish someone would make a repro...
great film, I was looking for adams revolvers in the internet for very long time
The gunshot sound at the beginning almost scared me haha. The Adams is clearly ahead of its time in my opinion very good condition too really nice to see.
A mi me parece que es más preciso y funciona mejor que los Colt de la misma época.
Pienso que debió tener seis recámaras en el tambor...
Thank for this information. I had never heard of the Adams revolver until now.
I have to say I'm surprised that Ian didn't do a video on these guns.
They fairly easy to find. I just thought they deserved a shout-out for their innovation.
Oh yeah I guess they really don't count as forgotten, plus Ian likes cartridges iirc.
Fascinating.
Saw one of these once in 100% original peacock blue finish .Quite nice.
The Royal Arsenal is at "Wool - ich".
Would an extra, or several extra pre loaded chambers be carried? It strikes me that it would be quicker to exchange a chamber than load the chamber in the gun.
YES........There are many accounts from the old west/civil war
Some good gun O the day.
You showed a single action Remington
How much the double action cap and ball Beaumont went for?
cool
In the terminology of the time the Adams was a self-cocking revolver. It was not a double action because it only had on mode of operation.
The Braumont-Adams was the first double action revolvet. Because it could be fired in two modes; single-action and self-cocking.
What is the screw for in the but of grip
Very strange they did not manage to find a safe " harbour" for the bullet ram handle.
Where's Ian?
+RapidRrobert His house? But seriously, he'll be out to see us again later this month to start filming a whole new set of videos for our April Premiere Auction. Fear not.
Rock Island Auction Company You did an excellent presentation, I just miss him. I mean it ... Excellent.
this is ria's channel, not forgotten weapons. no ian here. I got confused.
Andrew Brown Right, I missed it too.
Guys, if you were in the Sepoy Mutiny, would you rather have the Colt 1851 Navy or the Adams revolver? Six shots versus five? Single-action versus double-action? .36 calibre versus .38 calibre? Cheap versus expensive, parts interchangeability versus hand-fitted parts?
I mean the first quote given makes it a toss up. Clearly the Adams has its advantages in close combat as much as yours given for the Colt.
You could have the Adams in .44 as well as the .50 caliber as well, at the same weight and size as a .36 Colt. So I'd say definitely Adams!
Were they single action too or just double action
They were DAO.
The Beamont-Adam was the first SA/DA revolver
mate you say woolich the second w is silent
Thanks! And here I was thinking I was doing well by pronouncing "Smithwick's" correctly.
in theory it should be wool witch not woolitch english is weird and greenwich should green witch not grenitch
@@urbanmyths95 What's with this ''in theory' malarkey? Woolwich is pronounced Woolitch (all one word). Greenwich as in GMT is pronounced Grenitch (all one word). Easy-peasy.
@@KW-qq7nu the in theory bollocks was if english was logical and consistent
The Adams Revolver had a one-piece barrel and frame making barrel replacement impossible in the event of a bulged or badly corroded bore. The thin top strap was also subject to damage rendering the gun inoperable if struck. Lack of a recoil shield was a major concern. Field repairs were not really practical on the Adams because of the individual hand fitting required in its construction. I'm sure the U.S. ordinance took that into consideration when adopting the Colt here at home. Surely the Adams was known to them. Shooting a SA revolver can be quite fast using the two handed cock and fire system. Comparing the Colt to the Adams was a bit like apples and oranges. Each design had its proponents but which one is still made and used today?
Considering every colt that has seen any service use in the last century has had more in common with the Adams than the SAA and SAA are only made for recreational use for men who want to play cowboy the
"which one is still made today?" Starts to look a little ironic.
I have a repro colt that I used to shoot, the number of times it jammed up due to pieces of percussion cap falling down that channel which perfectly guided spent caps down into the actioin.!!!
@@johnhodges8264 There are many solutions to that problem. The originals had a strong mainspring and the problem you describe was less common. The hammer should seal the cap on falling. A weak msg won’t allow that and the cap bounces loose instead falling off on cocking.
@@samwalker7821 Adams is way better and anyone who has handled both will tell you that.
@@chroma6947 Time tested both and the Adams is now just a relic of the past. The only good it served was as the basis for improved designs that followed it.
the Alex (r) is the old abbreviation of alexander
+sugarnads and 'woolwich' is pronounced 'woolitch'
The Mongoose // Same goes with the word “Greenwich”
Wow i’m learning 😄
Wool-itch
Adams are nice revolvers, they are not the first double action revolvers. Samuel Colt invented a top strapped double action percussion cap and ball revolver in 1842 which can be seen here ruclips.net/video/ad5MdYKpL5o/видео.html
I had seen that Colt cutlass pistol in a book after writing the article on which this video is based. :) However, the Adams remains the first one produced. Article mentioned can be found here: rockislandauction.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-first-double-action-revolver.html
Wool...ich...no second w in pronunciation. There...
Didn't Colt make a double action revolver in 1842? There is a prototype on display at the Colt Firearms Collection in the Connecticut State Library in Hartford. It is listed as the Cutlass Pistol due to it's intended purpose of replacing the 1837 George Elgin Navy Cutlass boarding pistols.
While this gun never went into production due to the Patent Arms Company going under in 1842, this does technically mean Colt was first in the double action department. Who knows, Adams may have somehow seen this pistol and based his design off of it. They do look quite similar.
I just think it's strange that Adams gets the credit for the double action when there are records indicating that Colt did it first.
So in your mind not only did colt invent it but Adams must have copied Colts design because how could a British gunsmith possibly have done something before the great American gun maker
At the same time despite Colts becoming the king of revolvers around the globe by the 1850's, he did not bother releasing a double action model until the 1870's. While Adams and other British makers were already at it full speed. That called into question how good Colt's early double action design was to begin with, if he did not feel the ability to release a model until wayyy after the British makers.
The DA Pepper Box multi barrel revolvers also predated the Adams.
Great granpa's choice for firepower as a Union cavalry officer in the Civil War......
U ERTI O PIETTA LO FABRICAN...???
Edinburgh, pronounced Edin.bruh. Woolwich, pronounced Wool.itch.
It's pronounced "Wool-itch". If you think English pronunciation is difficult, try Welsh....
Nice vid.Ta.
Beaumont Adams is a girl gun
Ah another bitter yank. 😂
A girl who carries a.50 cal revolver gets my vote ❤
