Yep. You can see that it doesn't necessarily take a ton of force either. You can imagine a hand on the range being in several situations throughout their day where this might be a risk as they work. Just want to clarify something though..... He makes a point to show the firing pin on the hammer as a reason to leave a chamber empty which needs more explanation IMO. Their are modern day revolvers with firing pins like this but also have a firing pin block, rebound slide and/or other features that keep the pin from contacting the cartridge so you can safely load and carry the firearm with 6 in the cylinder. My S&W is like that. .....my single action Ruger Blackhawk on the other hand has a transfer bar (no pin on the hammer as it is in the frame).

Well my base of operations is usually St. Denis. LOL!😉

"Only a New Orleans pimp would carry a pearl-handled gun."

Well the thing is, those cards ruin both pvp and pve. Unbalanced as in, NO ONE should be able to take 10+ bullets and survive, be it from NPCs or other players. Its not just the cards that unbalance this game. Its also the tonics combined with ability cards. What you spend your time on is your choice. But since this game is public sessions ONLY with auto aim and pvp is a part of the game. Who you run into is a non issue. Many people do run into these players, I know I do. So its not like ignoring it makes it go away.

Pearl handled , black steel , gold carvings. I gotta say though I've went back to dual sawn offs. If the enemy is close enough for hand guns I want to make sure they go down. Pib and dual sawn offs are Fricken unmatched. No tonics needed. 😀

I do mine in blued steel with silver inlay... but no pictures handy

I do love cap n ball. I visited a museum when I was in Tombstone called the Gunfighter Hall of Fame. Tons of classics.

I shot full courses with two revolvers, a lever gun (in .45 colt for simplicity sake) and a 12 gauge side by side. I’m just in it for the fun. You probably won’t see me in any of the big money events lol. i sometimes use my cap and balls when I’m feeling in the mood. I often reload my .45s with black powder as well.

Yep. I visited the actually site of the famous gunfight, just behind the OK Corral off of Allen Street. There is the Gunfighter Hall of Fame which houses many guns owned by outlaws. The movie guns and the cup from Val Kilmer in the movie Tombstone is on display there. They also have an excellent old west comedy show around the corner from the museum. In Tucson, there is a place called Old Tucson, a movie set that filmed many classic western movies.

Oh wow you have been there. To Tombstone. Thanks for the info. I have been looking all these up. I watched this one too. You probably know all these but he did stuff on Tombstone too. 3 bullets in one only though

Awesome video Lucy. I have been inside the Bird Cage Theater when I visited Tombstone. Just under a three hour drive from Phoenix. I believe that some black powder revolvers had a notch on the cylinder in an area that didn't mess with the revolver's timing. This allowed all cylinders to be loaded without the hammers firing pin resting on a cap. I could be wrong though.

@Kean_1 yes in the vid they hit the hammer to show a knock could fire it off. Let me find the vid.

... So... How 'bout that mystery voucher from the first Outlaw Pass? Any guesses what it could be? A free shack? A custom skin for the Navy revolver? a new fancy hat (or other article of clothing)? What type of horse(s) do you think we'll get this time around?

for the knife u need to change them using the right and left pad , like if u switch kind of ammo

Lots there, I'll start with this one. Not a glitch. You trade cash for speed. Someone fire bottled my large wagon. Had to hump 4 bags in on horseback, payout went from $625 to $400. Got there quick, but lost hundreds.

Sure as hell was !! I was trying to climb trees and sh*t ! Dem bears Was hungry ! 😀

Yep lots of good ones to choose from , I have my black Arabian named persius Lord of the marsh. 😀 just my honest opinion but none match his speed with the right saddle and stirrups and his maneuverability can't be touched. I've been bucked one time since I've had him. 2 grizzlys charging us. He lit out on me but I didn't blame him. 😀

I'm pretty much the same as @The_Liquor - blued steel, silver inlay, pearl grip. Might as well look good while you're laying down some hurt! No pictures, sorry - haven't figured out how to make Xbox and laptop talk to one another.

Interesting. I find the Breton a bit slower than the Arabian, and an awful lot less nimble. I use a Kladruber for collecting and hunting, often, as it's sturdy and doesn't trip, but I have never found the Arabian to be not tough enough and the pace and handling advantage it gives me offsets any skittishness, for me. Great that we have so many choices, though. (Mine is a male Black Arabian - he has to be as I have to call him 'Festive Jim'. I know.)

Sounds like my preferred pair for cowboy action range days. I got two with 7 1/2 inch barrels. In .45 colt (I prefer the authenticity to the reduced recoil).

If they put these in the game with actual muzzleloading animation, it will have a slower reload time then other revolvers. I currently carry two Colt 1873 Cavalry revolvers in Red Dead Online. They are the in game Cattleman revolvers with the long barrel upgrade. Mine are silver (nickle plated) with pearl grips, full engravings with gold inlays, gold triggers and hammers (gold plated), and rifiling in the barrels. For me, they are the best revolvers for my playing style.

I saw a video and they hit the hammer and it did actually touch the round. Pew! no toes. As long as they don't have flying horses that lock onto you it's all fine by me

Will this be a good gun? I only recently found out some Cowboys only loaded 5 bullets because the gun could go off in the holster 😮

I'll send you a friend request once the luancher has finished updating.

Excellent. 😎 They were all tough as anything then. I would like to visit one day.

No... it everything doesn’t have to turn into a bitch fest because a few people have issues with the way the game was made... Just saying, there is already a thread out there to whine about all this crap...

Load one, skip one..... As @The_Liquor mentioned, this was to prevent an unintended discharge due to the firing pin striking the primer of the cartridge. Modern revolvers are typically designed with several safeties to help prevent this kind of thing from happening like a firing pin block, transfer bar, rebound slide, etc. ....and btw, guns don't just "go off". In this scenario, the reason one would discharge like that would be due to the hammer being struck while holstered, dropped, etc. Something has to initiate it. Not really sure but I have a feeling something is coming soon. There hasn't been any news re: bonuses, etc. that we usually get on Tuesdays today. I'm looking forward to it personally as I have with all the past content, tweaks and changes they have been providing with each update. EDIT: Spoke too soon:

I'm on that understanding as well. But like Harlock1796 commented, I'm not far from the rank of the Hunting wagon and the other delivery wagon. I'm getting the Hunting wagon, but unless I get a large bump in XP, I'll stay with what I've got for awhile. I've been making a lot of money off of the Trader Role, but you wouldn't know it so far, lol, with having to take care of the overhead for this business. But everything is paying for itself quick, unlike businesses in other games.

And here is where I tap out of this one... Because it’s no longer about the prospects of an exciting new Upcoming addition... Now it’s about ‘We need free aim lobbies’ and ‘explosive ammo and ability cards suck’... and I’m sure the ‘but it’s not as advertised’ and ‘people who kill me for any reason are big meanie-heads’ crowd will be showing up before long... Not that I mind a little off topic banter... but this particular direction has been beat to death and killed many threads in the past...

To further expand on my previous statement, when it comes to black powder rounds like the .45 colt or .44 Russian (the types of ammo found in the games) there literally is only one loading... as much black powder as the case will hold with a bullet seated on top of it... If you wanted to load it down you needed some kind of filler to take up space, but that basically just gives you a slower weaker round than a full charge of powder. Leaving empty space in a black powder load... well... you won’t have that gun for very long at the least...

Blued steel, pearl grips and puma carvings.

Since I last replied, I decided to spend a few days with my level 4, rank 20, $950 kladruber. OMG, I've never been bucked so much. He even bucked me AFTER I killed a charging cougar. A rabbit sneezes and he bolts! Tried wolfman legendary, was nearly impossible with the 'ruber. Ditched him and grabbed the trusty black Arabian, and even with wolves nipping at his hooves, he never bucked me off. Moral: Black Arabian being a scaredy cat is a myth.

I’m not 100% sure, but For some reason I think you have to buy the medium wagon before you buy the large wagon... I don’t think you can skip it over

I can see what you did there.

I'm not saying I don't run into them. I do and it s!@#ks. I just figure I have the option to just mozy on my way. If they give chase which most don't, My horse is fast enough to get out of Dodge, change my card load out, and match them. I keep my level 3 tonics and seasoned big game meat along side my 40 explosive rounds for just such an occasion.

Your options as far as bullets would likely have been various Calibers of round nose or flat nose lead slugs. Maybe some early copper jacketed bullets in the bigger rifles... there may have been some different loadings (express, high velocity) with the early days of smokeless powder. Honestly, walk into a gun store and check out the various modern ammunition types a available (you’ll likely see they are just slightly different variations of the same handful of basic bullet designs with the factory advertising trying to convince you that their hollow points are better than the other guys). Now, take 120 years of research, development and improvements out of the picture and you’ll have a good idea what you would have found in the gunsmith store of the RDR days. there really wasn’t much at the time beyond various calibers of slightly different shaped lead hunks... and different sized shot for your shotguns...

Rockstar is having issues on PC left and right with RDR2. They had loads of issues when it came out on console but it was a lot easier to figure our and fix because it was only two systems they had to worry about. Even if this is down to their servers, there is a lot more going on here than simply being kicked.

Yes, most people would use their 6 shooter as a 5 shooter. The logic being the firing pin (mounted directly on the hammer) shouldn’t be resting on the primer of a round while you are move it about, working, riding etc. as for this being a good gun... well, there is a reason they all went the wayside in favour of cartridge guns... but who knows how it’ll turn out in rockstar’s video game version? They aren’t exactly on a good track record of reproducing these firearms in a historically accurate way...

It could be the same locations as a camp would be but a shack looking building instead of your camp. Would most likely still have the same issue of setting camp tho. They may make it so you can't have camp set and moonshine shack at the same time?

well... i don't want to do the same, but that's the only option that they let me use in my posse right now *UPDATE* ok. looks like there's a thing called "reform posse" that allowed me to change settings again. i think that all is working now. well... i hope so

yep. i always contact them. they didn't reply yet, but somehow it's working now yesterday i restarted the game many times and was never able to change the privacy of the posse. today right on my first login i was able to change it whenever i want. maybe it takes some time to set the permanent posse, i don't know. anyway, when i restarted the game today, all posse settings became gray and "invite only", but now i can't change anything or even invite my friends, so now, as opposite of yesterday, i own a posse that i can't use with anyone i really love this game, but it's a mess 😕

Have to buy the Trader role first. Then go to your camp & access the wilderness outfitters. Select equipment & here you can buy the stew pot for $650.00. Then you can make superior stew with big game meat. It take 3 big game meat to make the stew.

By balanced I meant everyone has access to the same stuff fairly easily. Not that a battle is easy to win. Sure, sh*t can go south from time to time. But the world is big, we all have the same cards, the same tonics, the same pig fat etc., we can’t just see everyone in the world at all times. And nothing is stuck behind a prohibitively expensive price tag... sure, some of the things are a little goofy and unrealistic, but as of yet it’s not even close to being as ridiculous as GTA’s offerings. But it doesn’t really matter as we’ve been told over and over again all about how your bent on hating the game until you get your private lobbies, and others are bent on hating the game until they can be 100% immune to ever having to get into a gunfight with another player... So there is simply no winning with whatever Rockstar adds or takes away in the current vision/direction of the game...

I definitely would be fine with no ability cards, no explosive rounds. I don't feel they really add anything to the game. And a tonic cool down is a great idea! And. .since I'm forced to keep ability cards, at least give me the ability to name and save a loadout, and select it from the weapon wheel. I'm always shuffling cards around depending on the upcoming situation.

If by restocking you mean your reserves rather than what your player is carrying, you can do that through the catalogue anywhere while in Free Roam vs. doing it in the gunsmith's store for example. Ammo you buy by pulling up the catalogue will immediately be made available at the Post Office or your campsite lock box. You can buy way more than you can carry and simply resupply your character from that pool of ammunition at those locations. That way you don't need to go to a gunsmith.

Well, first off, I’ve never used explosive ammo (other than maybe the odd stick of dynamite) and I have never had problems in free roam PVP encounters... So I’m not sure it’s really a problem... as for your GTA comparison, sure, businesses are similar (I don’t really see how else they can both be run and provide opportunities for little PVP outlaw fun), but as of now, the PVP is more balanced by miles than what can be found in GTA... a fairly low level player can actually be competitive against a several hundred level player... That may change one day, it as of now it’s the case....

Yes sir. 100% we don't go in near as much as we used to. These tank builds completely ruin the experience. Then you throw in dirtbags using aimbots and lag switching its a complete mess !!

Josey whales carried 4 of these !! It's fricken go time !!

Aaaaaaaaah! I was saying only a few days ago that I'd LOVE properties and now we'll have one! *squee* I can't wait! This is awesome!

Forget the rest of the roles... The Liquor is going to be a moonshiner....
