The Remingtons were better than the Colts but got a lot less hype.

More robust design

Maybe he needs to keep his booger hook off the trigger until he's ready to fire.

Says he didn’t pull the trigger
Sounds like he pulled the hammer back and when the scene was over he dropped it causing it to fire

Original Colts didn't have a transfer bar but almost all modern reproductions do so dropping the hammer may or may not be able to fire the revolver. Either way he is still at fault.

Oooooorrrrrr...........it sounds like he shot a bitch....

The hammer has 4 locking sears, so it won’t drop when you release it, unless your finger is already depressing the trigger.

But they had 4 sears that locked the hammer as it was cocked, you have to hold the trigger to allow it to fall.

Didn’t know that

Worn sears are a faint possibility but if so those guns would have failed an inspection.

I need to get out and shoot it. I have SO much powder! Need to use up the Pyrodex I have before it goes bad.

Unless that replica in question was owned previously by some avid cowboy shooter, worn sears are pretty unlikely.

By far the most likely possibility is he had his finger on the trigger. Either that or the gun pulled its own trigger.

Highly unlikely, they wouldn’t buy a previously owned firearm for a prop. It would be checked out first regardless.

No, I think you can squeeze more 9mm into the same mag because the bullets are smaller.

Research double stack mag's, that is what increased 9mm capacity.
You seem to not know the difference between bullet's and cartridge's.
A 9mm, 380, 38, 308, 306 ect.., are basically the came caliber "bullet'.
A 22 short is the same caliber "bullet" as a 223, or 5.56 military round.
The powder behind the "bullet" is what determines capacity of the weapon.
Mass times velocity equal energy.
Since 1975, I have always had my double action 44 caliber revolver as a wake up in the night defense weapon.
Totally reliable.
380 auto as my "truck gun".

Caliber is bullet diameter. 9mm, .380, .38, .357 are all basically the same (.354-.357) but not the same as a .308.

What is a 306?

.22's and 5.56 are all .223-.224

Capacity is the number of rounds/cartridges that the magazine will hold. Unless you are referring to the case capacity where powder does matter but not the same thing.

I prefer a revolver as my nightstand gun also, less to mess with when waking up. My wife uses one also. Once the fun starts I can always get my mossberg shockwave.

Almost same as me. Ruger Redhawk and a Mossberg Persuader.

Keanu Reeves would not have made this mistake. Just sayin'.

They should have had a GOOD and COMPETENT armorer too. But that's out the window.

Great minds…..

Made a stop at Sportsman's Warehouse on the way home last night. There is more stuff available, but prices are still high. No 22LR except for some weird CCI high velocity plastic coated stuff. $48 plus for a jar of maybe 400 rounds.
