I haven't experienced this. But my motto is "train, train, and train some more." If you only have 5 shots, you want them to count. Muzzle rise seems to come from overcharging, and lack of hand strength. All of his life, Wild Bill used two .36 caliber Colt Navies because he could handle them accurately, even with a butt-forward two hand draw from a Civil War officer's sash. I've never seen a photo of him with conventional holsters. There's no doubt he was accurate.

Another thought I had was, when the gun fires there's a delay on the bullet leaving the gun and the actual powder charge burning. Like you pull the trigger and it it starts rising before the bullet leaves the gun completely, I suck at explaining but hopefully you get what I mean

Muzzle climb is definitely a thing, you tend to see that affecting accuracy during rapid fire in modern guns or in older ones like flintlocks, there is a delay between pulling the trigger and the gun actually firing because it has to ignite the powder in the pan with a spark, people who aren't used to that delay will pull their shots.

Never noticed this on my Remingtons.... I always use full charges as designed and found that they are a tad low at 25 yards, needing about 1/32" off the font sight. Hits on human sized targets are quite easy out to 75 yards or so.... at that range aim at top of head for a thoracic strike. Seems to work with RBs or Conicals..... Most that have issues with trajectory are, from my observation, using reduced charges and fillers etc. I always run my percussion revolvers 'full throttle' with as much 3F as will go in and still be able to seat the projectile. It has been working well for me for the past 30 years. Interesting vid though... 🙂

I can't imagine a cavalryman being able to line up revolver sights while on the back of a running horse. I think it would have been more of a sight down the barrel and fire kind of thing.

Pietta shoots even higher than the Uberti specially the 1851 because Pietta has a tail on their grips that forces the barrel up.

I was thinking this same thought today, visualizing my immediate priorities if a native war band crested a ridge to which I was hiking. I would first see them clearly at 200 yards, have enough time to draw a cap and ball, and by the time they are a football field away, I’d better be shooting or I’ll be knife fighting against men with lances and bows on horseback. And they weren’t known for killing white men quickly.

Crazy horse actually got his name by riding into a line of US army getting them to discharge all their muskets at him. When the soldiers started reloading the rest of the Sioux band attacked and wiped them out. Crazy horse's name before this battle was "Curly" lol

They shoot high because they have very short front sights. The best way to correct this on colt clones, is to file the rear sight notch in the hammer. The more you file down, the lower the shot placement will be. File left or right to adjust windage. For Remington style revolvers, you can install and adjustable rearsight or get a taller front sight installed.

@@TheBiggestIron YT sucks for not putting up notifications in a timely manner so I just seen your inquiry.This is where I bought my reloading kit and you can get more bullets and cartridges if needed.www.hc-collection.com/41-rf-c102x335272?PGFLngID=1 You'll have to get powder and .22 blanks locally.I used starter pistol .22 and they work.I us Trailboss but I'd recommend to not fill them all the way to the top.It's a little hot and hurts your hand and might blow up the gun depending on its condition.There is another outfit selling the kit for over $240 US. This works, easy to reload but seat the bullet before adding the powder and then push in the .22 blank last.Position the blank to line it up with the firing pin and you'll get fire in the hole.Hope this helps.

@@TheBiggestIron Back in the 1970's there was a run of the .41 rimfire shorts by a manufacturer and I could get them at the gunshows but it's been 15 years since I seen any available. I'm sure that most of us wouldn't want to go the route you suggest as the old cartridges were primed like a .22 and not reloadable.These ones on the website that I posted work really well and I've reloaded them a number of times without any problem except I have to use a nail to get the .22 blank out once fired to reload. I put them in my ultrasonic cleaner and they come out clean and ready to use again.

I'm of the opinion that a lot of people approach these guns with the mindset of a time traveler who can't get their head out the 21st Century when they find themselves handling something from the 19th. Think of that every time someone remarks about how problematic it must have been trying to reload-- one tends to forget that your opponent is in the same situation if they get all six shots off without result. People tend to forget these muzzleloading belt and holster pistols were military weapons. They would be laughable on a modern battlefield, of course, but they were designed for and purpose-built to the task of killing enemy soldiers (or, in the case of Army caliber pistols, their horses).
