American Double Action Revolvers of the 19th Century

- This video will explain the evolution of American double Action revolvers in the 19th century.
I'll start with the origin of double action revolvers, and I'll trace the development of American double action systems to the point where all the capabilities were fully developed for the double action revolver to take its place as the predominant civilian and police handgun of the 20th century.
Wow!.. That was the quickest 42 minutes ever… excellent revolver history.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
How can we convince Uberti or someone to reproduce the S&W Double Action revolvers? I'd love to see a new double action top-break model in .45 Colt!
They would have to believe there is enough of a market to make a profit. To be honest, I don't think there is.
@@duelist1954 Especially since it would cost between $1500 and $2000. which is sad because I love break top DAs
Yeah. I'd even like one of the modern single-action S&W Russian or Shoefield copies. But ones I've seen were priced in the $1500 + range! A few years ago, I did pick up a non-working contemporary Belgian copy of the break-top S&W Frontier 44 for only $50. I was able to get it functioning again. But I'd never shoot live ammo with it!
Wow ! I’d never even heard of the Remington Rider Belt model DA revolver! How was that not the Most popular revolver of its day !?? This video was outstanding Mr Bellevue ! I learned so much about some of the most beautiful and functional revolvers ever ! Thanks !
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
I’m currently in the hospital waiting on my 2nd child to be born, thanks for keeping me company, Mike!!!
Congratulations!
The 19th century was absolutely amazing in technological advancements in so many disciplines; guns, medicine, transportation with rail, ships, and the automobile... What a time to have been alive.
Another fine firearms history lesson.....proves RUclips can be worth while. Your a treasure Mike. Your channel has to be one of the best on RUclips. I look forward to every one of your videos. Thanks again.
I'm glad that you like the videos
This video is outstanding! I am in awe over the production numbers for those pocket models. I hope you are on the mend and feeling better!
Thanks! I'm much improved.
there are still many of them floating around today
Yay it's Thursday at last..... Loved the video, and your comments on the Merwin Hilbert, I do own a double action in 44 MH calibre (legal in the UK, for display only, no bang bang allowed !!!) and love it to bits.....
Hope you get fully well soon, and look forward to the next instalment of pocket pistols.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Wow, someone was up late editing. Morning Mike!
LOL
I have a reblued 1916 (via serial number) 45 New Service in .45LC. It was polished too much and some of the lettering was damaged so I got it cheap >$400 and it is a great shooter, locks up like a bank vault. I think the Smiths of the era have a better double action trigger, but I really like the gun.
I'm quite fond of the New Service myself. I had a museum-quality restoration done on mine.
@Philby Iasgair That was the same model that was modified to take that cartridge, but they didn't start rechambering them until the US entered WW1, which was 1917. My gun was made a year earlier.
Another fantastic video, Mike, thank you very much. I love these longer, more in-depth videos. I can watch any twit shoot a revolver he knows little about, but it's far better to get the hard, detailed facts such as you provide.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Boy-o-boy , I've learned more about revolvers with this one video than I have in a lifetime . You're an EXCELLENT historian & educator !
Another great video about firearms history during the 19th century.
I'm waiting to your videos very thursday, tank you Mike!!
Take care and get well.
Thanks .. I just inherited a 32 Smith & Wesson lemon squeezer.. top break.. and a colt police positive Snub revolver in 3 8 s&w.. thanks for the history of these interesting firearms
I had no idea so many of the top breaks were made by S&W. Awesome video sir Leaned something new most every minute.
Good job as always cleared up some notable questions I had. My favorite has always been the S & W k frame, my first the Model 15 combat masterpiece.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
You are a man of great knowledge and True Wisdom!!! THANK YOU!!!
Absolutely loved all of the knowledge shared in this video, I’ve been looking like a video like this for some time.
Very informative. Will look for more gun info as available.
Great Job, Mike. I never fail to learn something in one of these videos of yours.
Thank you so much for the awesome history lesson !
Can’t wait for the pocket pistol video. So much great information in all of your videos thank you.
Again, Mike, thank you for this show. We are men of the same age and past experience of military service and shooting experiences, and I truly appreciate these videos to enlighten your audience with this information, which I have learned and experienced for myself. I am coming to 19th-century S&W DA top breaks now. Once more, thank you. Montana Kid Hammer, SASS 6476-Patron.
A wealth of information and presented in an entertaining style.
Well done and hope to see more in the future.
Stay healthy and happy.
Great video, can't wait to see the next one.
Excellent video! I learned a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Very informative, Mike, and these are always the best videos. More information is always good. Get well soon.
Thanks! I'm on the mend.
Great video and a lot of knowledge
Extremely interesting, tied up a few loose ends in my limited knowledge. Thank you and looking forward to the pocket pistol video.
Thank you so much for all your research and for this presentation! Fascinating history!
I'm glad you like it.
Thanks, this was an excellent discussion. I really appreciate your expertise and attention to detail. Great work.
I'm glad you like it.
Thanks for the great video! Love those old double actions
Your videos is awsome. So interesting and fun to watch.
Thanks Mike, great class and well done. Sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well. Get better soon.

Second time i see this video, great content!!
And i love to hear the laundry machines in the back ground, gives you a human touch, love your videos!!
First off: I wish you well and a speedy recovery!
I thought I knew about the double action revolver. You just showed me I was largely ignorant. Seriously, a very informative and entertaining vid. Thanks.
Great video Mike. I heard you on Ethan’s podcast. Great podcast as well.
Thanks!
I am loving your channel brother! I am absolutely in love with these machines. I enjoy seeing these babies in action, thank you!
Wow, what a presentation. You have an encyclopedia of revolver history.I learn a lot from this clip.
Wonderful video. Very educational. Thank you!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Nice job Mike. Thanks for taking the time to research and put the presentation together. I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks!
Great Video!!! Thank you for all of your hard work putting it together! Watched it twice!!! 😁
Thanks!
Great video! Thank you for all your hard work!!!!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Most enjoyable. My favorite revolver design is still the top-break. There's something so satisfying about popping that frame open, and having that cam-action help dump out the empties!
Great video! Great information 🫡
Thanks for a very informative video
Enjoyed video to the max, except for you being sick. Looking forward to seeing you next week.
I’m on the mend.
Thank you, Mr. Beliveau! I really like old antik guns and your story about DA revolvers of XIX century is beautiful and very informative!
I'm glad you like it.
That was a interesting video, enjoyed that. Hope you are feeling better. Look forward to next one.
Thanks! I'm on the mend.
Thanks Mike, Great content as usual ......Just finished watching this a 2nd time. There's a lot in this video. Helps explain things about some guns that I've owned for decades. I now view them in a different light. You are, in my mind, central PA's answer to Hickock 45.
Thanks!
Another great video, I learned a lot. Keep 'em comin love them. Thank you, I know it a lot of work.
I'm glad you liked it
Thank you, Mike great clip.
Thanks!
I wish there were more top break options for revolvers today, i just fell in love with that design thanks to the SW no3 and then the schofield, but the Hulbert comes in pretty close i watched you’re video on that one and the machining is so well done. i’ll be indecisive which one i would carry if it was 1880. great video mike
Awesome video Mike thankyou.
Thank you for the video. Great stuff!
I'm glad you like it.
Great video, Mike. As they always are. I was an USAF aircrew member during Dessert Storm, and carried a S&W M15, 38 special as my issued sidearm. It's amazing to think that was essentially the same design from 92 years previous.
I agree
THANKS, FOR THE DOUBLE-ACTION REVOLVER HISTORY! GREAT VIDEO!
Great video, thanks for making it
I'm glad you like it.
Great video Mike ,I enjoy geeking out on the history of classic guns and cartridges like these.Just when a person thinks they know a little something on a subject it always fun to discover a bunch more layers in the history I never knew. Keep up the good work! 😀
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Take care of yourself. I hope you're feeling better soon. Loved the video, your videos are always very informative.
I'm on the mend
Unbelievable video! I've never heard of the Remington double actions.. before this. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I've actually been contemplating upgrading a couple of my cap and ball revolvers two double action and I love to see the Remington and the cold that you've shown that are double action I actually were watching this have covid myself
Thanks Much! Always enjoy your history lesson.
I'm glad you liked it
Thank you Mike. You Sir have taught me so so much over the years. this video is no exception. You also show off some VERY cool guns. Hope you get better soon sir. I love your vids.
Thanks! I'm on the mend.
Thank you for the history lesson it's cool to see revolver evolution from Colt SAA to dubbel action
Mike, recently read a good book on one of your displayed small arms of the 19th century. The book was a well done and well researched history of the British Bulldog Revolver, written by a Mr. George Layfield, if memory serves. In his book, he maintains that perhaps the British Bulldog, a short barrel, fixed sight revolver, offered in several calibers. A small frame, 5-shot big-bore wheelgun made by several gun makers using the very same name. Mr Layfield maintains the British Bulldog, due to its compact size, through a very inexpensive price, and a arm to be carried much and shot little, was by far one of the most favored handguns packed by cowboys, lawmen, gentlemen gamblers, and ladies for handbag carry. For the price of large frame 1890's Colt SAA, four Bulldog Guns you could purchase 4-British Bulldogs. Mr Layfield noted that sales of this early day snubby was extremely good, good enough to keep these gun makers profiting for several years just off Bulldog sales. These big bore revolvers came in several calibers, the .32 and .38S&W being the most popular with females and the larger calibers with the men-folks. Five dollars with change back could put some good life insurance in your pocket, with no rising premiums to contend with. For a couple of bucks more, a buyer could purchase a nickel-plated and engraved Bulldog. Those were some great gun-buying prices, even though a buck went a lot further than today! What Layfield had to say about the Bulldog being the real gun that broke the west, his foundation and basis for this seemed solid. The British Bulldog Revolvers were the early day predecessor to the current Charter Arms Bulldog .44 we know today. This current arm, like its great grandfather, is meant to be packed and carried much, but shot little. Parts fatigue is current today, shooting your Bulldog Revolver in marathon shooting sessions. Same issue with the 1890's Bulldog, carried much shot little and both era handguns will outlast their owners following this common sense rule. If you desire a lot of range time, get you a S&W Model 29 for the brutal several hundred round shooting marathons. Thanks for this video Sir, on small arms, once very common. They do have a great history in this country!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You videos are very informative and I've learned alot 👍
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great history lesson Mike, thanks very much.
Thanks!
My favorite kind of revolvers. Thanks for the video Mike!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Get well soon, Mike. Thanks very much. Another great vid.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Mum and I liked the history of this phase or the Revolver very much. We found the Starr model particularly interesting. We hope you have made a full recovery from COVID and we look forward to many more of your videos.
Fantastic history lesson
Thank you for haring your knowledge !!!! Stuff like this might get lost in time, and small details lost through time.
Hope you recover quickly from the Covid, great video ,learned a lot, have a break-top HR 999 22. LR.
love it. Still looking for a good HR 38 special break-top.
Thanks Mike I learned something form your great video. P.S. get well.
Thanks! I'm on the mend.
Thank you for all the information and knowledge and I hope that you get better.🤧🤒
Thanks! I'm doing much better.
My favorite gun channel I love you sir!!
Thanks!
Excellent Video....
Great video, thanks for introducing me to the Remington Rider pistol. Now I want one. Can you do a video on the top break pistols designed by S&W. I’ve always been I big fan of the top break revolvers and never understood why they never carried over into the 20th century.
It was mostly due to the swing out cylinder design and the push for smokeless powder, which invented more powerful cartridges (38 44 special)
thank you for your effort we know the subject is dear to you.
Thanks Mike, great video as usual! Love the history videos. Get well soon, can’t wait to see you on the range shooting that Colt 1878 “smoke wagon”!
Thanks!
Great article in MuzzleBlasts magazine, Mike! (Feb 2022) Just loved it.
Thanks, I haven’t seen my copy yet.
A fantastic video! 19th century double action was a black hole for me . . . until now. Thanks!
Thank you Mike . Very educational.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great video. I'm a big fan of pocket pistols of the 19th century. Can't wait for the follow-up video.
Hang in there!
Superb, Mike. Thank you.
I'm glad you like it.
Mike, possibly the best video yet. I say possibly because there are more than a few to choose from. 😎
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
another great video. now get well so you can keep putting out these wonderful videos.
Thanks! I'm on the mend.
Great video, hang in there, I just got over covid myself and I had a pretty rough go of it. I enjoy your videos immensely take care.
Thanks!
I sure hope you get to feeling better soon Mike! Great video
Thanks! I'm on the mend.
Very interesting presentation. I never knew about the history of these double actions.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I like your channel, love your content, I could listen to you all day, great stuff, keep it coming
Thanks!
Hope you get well soon. It's interesting that, I think I found more good gun history back in the old dusty library days, than in these online everything days. Your depth makes a difference, especially for those who may never crack a book.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
In production from 1898 until 1844? Wow! How'd they go backwards in time? It must have been very popular before the Civil War. Futuristic!
Mike, thanks for the video history of the Colt and S&W 19th century hand ejectors. You're the first one that I have heard that mentioned the 1889 Colt Navy contract. I have several reference sources like Edward Ezzell's "Handguns of the World" 1981. The colt hand problem and the counter clockwise rotation resulted in out of timed revolvers and the crane lockup failures. The government wised up and accepted the new Colt clockwise rotation revolvers. S&W saw the problem too as their first 1896 and 1899 hand ejectors looked like Colt's revolvers in that the ejector rods hung below the barrel unsupported. S&W add the front lock to help keep the crane locked up and I believed they re-designed the hand somewhat. Hope you get well and I will eagerly wait for your pocket revolvers video.
Excellent video, very much enjoy the history. I wouldn't mind owning examples of all of them, even repros. Anyway hope you feel better soon!
Thanks! I'm on the mend.
Excellent video Mike. Get well soon.
Thanks! I'm doing better.
All awesome. Takes me back to watching “Tales of the Gun” when i was a kid.
Thanks
get well,mike...love the videos .
Thank! I'm glad you liked it
