Hell on Wheels

You don’t see it right there in his Hollywood brand possibles bag?

In Dungeons and Dragons, its called a Bag of Holding- it opens into a pocket dimension where players can keep ridiculous amounts of gold, weapons, and other loot without being bothered by technicalities such as mass or bulk. I think I see a bulge in Cullens left front pocket, opposite his watch. Thats probably where he keeps it folded up.

Incidentally, its also where the characters on The Walking Dead keep their spare magazines, since they reload often, but you never actually see them with a mag carrier........

Probably on his horse if I had to guess. I noticed he pulls a spare cylinder for his ‘58 from a vest pocket, so that may be his go-to. Don’t forget that someone of his nature and standing would’ve have probably gone to the effort of having a seamstress line that vest and the coat he wears with pockets.

If they were smart they did not reload. There is a reason the smart ones carried two, or more, revolvers.
Hollywood wants us to believe in cylinder swapping, rarely happened when it was real.

As for where does they actor carry his spare. In the prop man’s hand.

You beat me to it.

Anyone ever watch the " Desperado" TV movies? He resembled a walking arsenal. No need to reload, just grab another gun. McCall, played by Alex McArthur, had to be in pretty good physical condition to lug all that hardware around.

Why would he need to carry any of that stuff? Revolvers made in the old days carried anywhere from 30 to 100 shots. Anyone that watches movies knows that! Load it up before you head out in the morning and you are good for at least one or two battles. Its also really cool how flintlocks work just fine with no priming charge is you are shooting them in Hollywood.

He probably went through Tummy Tuck Scallop Surgery, a very popular procedure done in the Old West. It was quick and painless and kept the svelte hombre looking svelte so he could hide all the extra percussion cylinder in his vest but still maintain his flat but girlish figure…he said “tongue in cheek”

You ever put a loaded cylinder in your pocket the try to add caps on the walk? (not on the fly)
Yeah, that ain’t happening’!
Or a more dangerous maneuver;DO NOT DO THIS…EVER! put a loaded cylinder with caps in your pocket run around the block once or twice then try a cylinder swap.

I never noticed if he had a cylinder cartridge conversions. It really wouldn’t matter. It’s obvious he isn’t carrying them…unless of course, he did have that scalloping surgery.

In NCIS they carry no spare magazine pouch, but they reload as needed. It's TV/Movies, not real life. You rarely see an M-1 Garand reloaded in WWII films; not sexy enough like slamming a 1911 magazine in a pistol.

Keeps it next to his extensive hair tonic, pomade, and styling gel stash

There was an Avengers episode that depicted Steed and Peel skulking through a "Hogan's Alley" type range with building facades and targets popping up in doors and windows. They were armed with BHPs, the then-standard British sidearm. They made no bones about it, they carried no reload ammunition but every time they were getting low, what should they find but a little shelf on one of the "buildings" with a fresh magazine.

I count 8 shots before the Cylinder swap. Then 4 more killed after.

8 + 4 = 12


Two cylinders! What is the problem?


Kevin

Didn’t you know the camera man is carrying them.

Okay, I just did something I rarely do and watched the clip. Why is it all of my BP cartridges produce a lot more smoke that what I see in those shots?

The problem is eight shots before he changes cylinders.

Hollywood!

You are supposed to watch it for entertainment not historical accuracy or education!

Kevin

And the creeping loading lever is also a tell. But, Hollywood….


Kevin

Historically accurate movies are called Documentaries and they’re generally boring. History is boring to watch. The news guys/gals figured that out back in the early days of television. That’s why since about 1960 tv news has been more fictional than factual.
