I don't blame you for wanting to go to the USA, but, it is getting awfully crowded over here.
Romel, thanks again, for another good video. It is O K that I can't understand the language. I still learned by watching. He did a very good job of demonstrating and showing the different steps and tools he used to load the pistol.Another of my videos of cargo, on this occasion is another "snubby"a Colt Pocket .31, the audio is in spanish (at the moment is the only language they speak) feel that does not like the partner Mikeal.....

Then they must have given the speakphone because in the if they appear their acronyms..........Hate to differ, but 2 of those pictures look to me that they were NOT
taken at Friendship. I know because I have been going for 20 years. Those
tables are not there, and the roof is not that color. The one of the lady
looks like Friendship, but not the other two.
The top two photos are the same and are from the 2008 NMLRA Western Nationals.Hate to differ, but 2 of those pictures look to me that they were NOT

and 17:mykeal said:Now I will admit that using the short starter or ramrod on a single shot pistol or long rifle puts my hands NEAR the muzzle, and if the gun were to discharge I'm sure they'd be burned. But there wouldn't be a hole through the palm like there would be in the case of the OP's method.
and 45:mykeal said:it's necessary to have your hands NEAR - not completely over - the chamber openings for a brief second,
mykeal said:the fact that your hand needs wrap around a ramrod on a muzzle centerline while it's loading a charge justifies placing the center of your palm over a loaded revolver muzzle, an entirely unnecessary action. And one in which the consequences of an AD are much more catastrophic (you'll lose your hand, versus burned fingers or torn flesh on the palm.
This gun is Pietta, in its catalog on-line comes in caliber .44 but also have in .36Romel, who is the manufacturer of this revolver? Is it Pietta? Traditions just added an 1861 Navy with a Birdshead Grip but not a Snubie. Interestingly they also describe their's as an 1860 Army in their catalog.
Thanks for the infoRomel:
I've read that Avenging Angels were names given to the cut down 1860s used by the Mormon Death squads back in the 19th century.
The death squads were also called Avenging Angels from what I've read.
They certainly were used for personal protection by folks who wanted more power than a pocket pistol could provide.
Here is a link to a photo, taken at a gun show, of some authentic Avenging Angels. Some are 1860s & some are 1851s.
One looks to be a dragoon.
