That would be great Paging PW

This section seems to refer to a live round. The hammer was lowered on an a spent round.

No firearm may be decocked on the firing line to avoid a penalty if cocked at the wrong time, position or location once a round has gone downrange. Once a revolver is cocked, the round must be expended (shot). However, if a round has not gone downrange, and under the direction and supervision of the TO, the revolver may be decocked. This requires a positive indication/acknowledgement from the TO for the shooter to do so. (See also “Double Jeopardy” avoidance in Safety & Handling Conventions – All Firearms)

Gun never left his hand. Do you know where I can find that in the rule book?

We had a shooter who when finished firing his pistol wound up with a cocked hammer. Instead of pulling the trigger he lowered it with his thumb. He got a stage DQ. The TO maintained that the hammer must only be dropped by trigger pull. We were looking through the rule book and don't see any rule that addresses this.

I used the polish capper in the 2022 SASS Western Frontiersman Territorial and it worked well. I used one side to place the cap and the other to seat it. The capper something every cap and ball shooter should consider having.

O.K. Got it! I looks great and seems to fit on my New Army Remington . Can't wait to use it.

Thanks for the reply I see that you have sent the package already!

I just ordered one will let you know how it goes. I'm shooting new army Remingtons .
