Does anyone know where I could find a Pietta, or other brand of Colt Paterson .36 cal revolver? Thanks gang!
That pop-out trigger thing is odd, though I guess there are other examples. Since trigger guards weren't exactly a new idea, it is surprising Colt didn't use one.Thanks for that update 1K, I haven't seen one since working on yours. Not much a guy can do to them other than work the springs a little and fix timing. It's such an odd design.
No. @Jackrabbit1957 will have to fill you in on the finer details but the guts are all different. Rather than a hand there’s a rotating ring/key around the rear of the arbor that mates with a key slot in the rear of the cylinder. Mike Beliveau did a good video on it and you can see the key/slot here at 21:39That pop-out trigger thing is odd, though I guess there are other examples.

I've never handled one; does the hand and locking bolt work pretty much the same as later Colt single actions?

That's a shame. I take it the same goes for the Le Mat Pietta clone?Nobody currently offers one and hasn’t for quite a while
