Something interesting

Mr Murphy,

You bring up a great point. I was thinking of that last night. In the video I watched the guys were using hammerless guns with ejectors. But I had remembered Ripons guns were hammerguns. I was not aware they were ejector type. But non the less to do what he did with hammerguns is a heck of a feat. Esp for the loaders.
BTW didn't they have a hard time selling at least one of those guns with in the past few years?

Looks like Diggory H participated. Doesn't he or hasn't he been a participant at the Southern or one of the other side by side shoots here at home?

Rapid shooting with a loader is no more problematic with a hammer gun than a hammerless. All the shooter does is accept the loaded gun, fire, then hand it off for reloading - as he accepts his loaded No. 2 gun. Whether the hammers are external or internal makes little difference.

If you're alone without a loader, it does.

Various of Ripon's guns have been offered in the recent past. Whether they are or have been "together", I don't know. Donald Dallas' Purdey books probably picture and give information on the Ripon guns.
