👍 Another interesting and educational video. I was completely surprised at the street price of the Winchester 1873 in the 1870s on the frontier ($50! 😳). Even $17 for the Colt SAA would have been expensive in those times. Certainly helps one understand the staying power of cap & ball revolvers (and their conversions) as well as other rifle types in the early years of these new firearms. Thank you for another enjoyable look into 19th Century firearms.

@Mr. Cool Sorry, I wasn’t comparing prices in the 1870s to prices in 2020s. I was comparing the $17 cost of a Colt SAA and $50 cost of a Winchester 1873 to the average wage at the time of $450-$500+/- per year. Even if the wages of the day were $1,000/year. These items would have been larger entries in the common man’s budget.

Mr. Cool - it is more accurate to go by the price of physical silver rather than the spot price of paper silver. Physical silver more accurately represents the street price of silver to the common man . street price is about $$29 right now, and has been well into the thirties this past hear. Street price includes the dealer's margin when purchasing a few thousand ounces.

Hi, Mike! Great video! You’re a real educator and I’ve been following you for years! I heard you apologize for the length- please don’t! I enjoyed every moment! Personal note- I really appreciated the time you devoted to the arms of the Texas Rangers! My Grandfather was a Texas Ranger! He was appointed by the Governor in 1935, when they were reactivated and made a part of the Texas Department Of Public Safety. He was the sole Ranger over Galveston Island. If you’ve ever heard the ZZ Top song, “Balinese Room”- my Grandfather made the first successful raid on that place for casino gambling. Picture in the paper and all. He liberated a barstool from there which became my Mother’s high chair! I still have it! All the best to you, dear Friend!

Custer's Last Stand/Trapdoor defeat is a story I have heard before. I was thinking about that other story of the 24 contractors who were attacked by 1K natives and held off with trapdoors. That is a tale I have not heard before. I think other stories of hostile attacks, lawmen vs criminals, outlaw gangs vs towns etc and how weapons played in their outcome both good and bad would be interesting to compile and retell. I enjoy the stories. Its like sitting with grandpa who knows the tales of the west. All we need is a warm campfire to sit around.

It was less than 30 minutes--that is not even close to being too long, and actually, I'd have liked to see more. It's amazing, every time I think I'm getting a handle on things, your videos come along and add something new. I thought that .45 Colt was a rimfire round--I had never heard of the Bennet primer, and my first quick Internet search shows relatively little information about it, so I suspect I'm not alone there. The trapdoors are fascinating to me. Every country that developed one did it to save money by not designing a new rifle, but almost all of them ended up manufacturing new versions because the conversions worked so well. I've told you that the Snider is my favorite, but I am looking hard at a trapdoor (and a Wänzel, and... LOL!). Thank you so much for another excellent, entertaining, and informative video, Mike.

Amazes me how there are so many youtubers spreading information that they learn from Mike and yet rarely do they ever credit him! I see this time and time again to the point of wanting to call them out on it! Just as amazing is the fact that so many of the kids that don't have a clue about so many things (some are totally insane and so very wasteful) yet they have ridiculous numbers of subscribers and Mike's channel is far more educating, interesting, resourceful etc. and he has far less subs! I think the only misinformation (I've ever seen at least) on Mike's channel is where he loads shotshells with a LEE loader and doesn't use the tool correctly. Great informative channel keep up the great work Mike! Always enjoyed your articles as well.

Great vid. 1873 is arguably the most significant year in firearms, given the success of these weapons. I bought a batch of black powder guns from an estate & along with them was an original 1873 Winchester (1886) in .22 short. You'd never know it by the feel. It's heavy for a .22 & I got it for almost nothing. I passed on a trapdoor a few months ago for $1k at a gun shop but maybe that was a mistake.

In a previous video I commented that way back when I had held a .19th century .45 Colt's round in one hand and a 20th century round in the other and the "dim Christmas tree light" that did not come on as regarded the difference in rim size. And now, thanks to THIS video, I know how the 19th century cartridge would have worked had it ever been fired. I recall looking at the base of that cartridge and thinking, "A rim fire .45 Colt's? What the hell? This thing must have been a display or prototype model of some sort." Sometimes your videos make me feel like I'm back in school and in a class that I really learn something in.

Thanks again, another winner. Interesting to see you firing your trap-door too. Many overseas countries bought tens of thousands Winchesters for their armies. As a Little Big Horn enthusiast, I think had the 7th Cav been issued with 44-40 1873 Winchesters, the odds may have evened up a little. The latest research concludes from forensic examination of cartridge cases and bullets, matching in many instances cartridge cases to individual rifles, it’s concluded that possibly 150 to 250 Winchesters were in use by the tribes, from Henry, 1866 to 1873s. The proportion of jammed cases in the Springfields on average 5%? Greetings from England!

As you mentioned, the original Trapdoors energetically ejected spent brass. Not so with the replicas. My 1873 cutdown rifle (Bannerman?) ejects brass with positive authority, while the Pedersoli brass barely cleared the action. I was unable to find a suitable replacement ejector spring for the replica rifle, so I installed an original spring & plunger. It now ejects with proper force, as God intended.

Regarding the segment about the Colt SAA 4 3/4 inch its mindblowing by today's practices that a firearms company said "Hey we sell a lot of these maybe we should make it a standard production offering". Thats how I feel when a company (example Ruger) has a special edition (quite often Lipsey's) single action that immediately sells out and that is in some ways better/nicer then their standard offerings, but after a limited run is never seen again.

I tried to comment on the videos I like to help you guys out another great video. I have enjoyed every single video that I've seen of yours, so thank you very much sir.

Thanks! It seems like the comments feature, among others, is glitchy the last few days.

Love it a lot. I've always felt the 5 and a half inch Colt was better balanced. Thumbs up!

Thoroughly enjoyed the video! I shoot a 74 Sharps in 45-70 at our SASS long range. After watching this, I may have to drive up to Dixie Gun Works in Union City, TN and see if I can find a 73 Trapdoor.

I like to divide the 1800s in three parts pre civil war, civil war 1855- 1865,( yes 1855) and 1873. Great video very interesting and informative.

You got me to buy my first BP revolver... I have a love for the 45-70 in modern lever guns-- I handload for them with smokeless powders with all sorts of bullets. Looks like I need a trapdoor and some BP rated cast lead bullets...

Everybody needs a trapdoor. They are high on the fun meter.
