SG>Sounds like you want a single-action. Well, except that it is single-

Yeah -- I kept waiting for him to drop one -- and find out the hard way
about the dangers of carrying a loaded, capped cylinder. :-)
SG>Speedloaders are more convenient - and don't weigh as much. That, and
SG>it's hard to get a cylinder to match a barrel. To get a really accurate
SG>gun, you need to make sure the chambers line up properly, and
SG>interchanging cylinders isn't likely to help that occur.
Rachet and hands must be hand fitted to ensure proper timing.  Having
several several cylinders fitted to the same gun would run the price up.
