Because I'm flipping through my 2006 Blackpowder Annual, and staring at me is a gorgeous Italian reproduction of the 1855 Colt Root revolving percussion rifle in .44. Berdan's Sharpshooters and some elements of the Wisconsin regiments carried them in the war of Southern Treason/Northern Aggression.
I knew one didn't put one's off hand in front of the cylinder when firing those rifles, but we've got oodles of cap & ball revolver shooter who somehow never manage to get a chainfire.
