I have a few of these this is one of my favorite double action only revolvers. 170 years old, cant hit the side of a barn but still a lot of fun to shoot.

So then you can explain how this works.

At the back end of the cylinder is a shield that, I presume, is to prevent the caps from falling off the nipples when the cylinder turns.

With a single action revolver - even, I suppose, with a single action peppeebox - you pull the hammer back to half cock and then you can rotate the cylinder and cap the nipples.

But with a double action only gun, that has no hammer spur, and has no half cock (right? It does not have a half cock?) how do you rotate the cylinder to put the new cap on the nipple? How do you prime that thing?
