OT swing out Smith & Wessons in movies

[Scattered Thumbs]

There is one thing (among others) that really gets on my nerves whenever a swing out Smith & Wesson appears in a movie (or TV series for that matter).
Someone will allways swing the cylinder open and turn it. And you can always ear the sound of a ratchet that is not there. 
Maybe all my 3 swing out Smiths ( a J, a K and an N frame) are defective, who knows?

Take a piece of playing card and glue it to the frame so when you turn the cylinder it makes noise in the flutes, kinda like a playing card in a bike spoke.

I always like when the killer takes a take down rifle, puts it together, puts on the scope and turns the turrent knobs and shoots.

I always cringe when someone loads a swing out cylinder and flips the gun sideways to close it. (McGarrett, Hawaii Five Oh, was bad at that...course he's anti-gun, too.) 

Almost as bad as screwing a silencer INTO a revolver barrel.

Ah...the great mystery of the silenced revolver.  I seem to recall a movie a while back that had our hero using a suppressed .44 mag (not a Dirty Harry movie, I think). 

It's right up there with a 1911 slide closing on an empty chamber.  Or squeezing a three-hundred round burst out of a tommygun with a 50-rd drum. 

Gotta love that Hollywood accuracy.

It was found out that what's his name that played McGarrett was both anti-gun but had excepted a fancy engraved gun as a gift from Elvis.  When it came out public, he had to registar is lick us common scum, he was not punished for an illeagal gun though.

Holllllywooood all knifes and swords make funny noises also.

I'm going to find out why someone, often with a pump gun, will rack the slide a half dozen times before it gets fired even once, BUT IT ALWAYS STILL HAS THREE DOZEN ROUNDS IN THE MAGAZINE!!!

I gotta get me one of those.

And i was thinking you were going to talk about modern revolvers in Western Movies.  A la Colt New Service Revolver as used by Jimmy Stewart in that movie he played in with Henry Fonda and Inga Stevens.  Sorry, Can't remember the name.

That was "Firecreek"!! I've seen several Westerns with DA revolvers, with swing out actions, but a lot of them seem to have ejector rods on the right side of the barrel too.  Anyone else ever notice this?

A lot of movies that had actors use flintlocks used modified trap doors, they shot 45-70 blanks and had a modified hammer that held a flint and made a spark.  Saw where their was one for sale about ten years ago.
