Well, Iver-Johnson was doing that over a century ago. <\/p>\n<p>For the record, this is a 2nd model Safety Hammerless, which is not intended for smokeless powder. I was using light handloads, which is still not a good idea for the pistol, as smokeless powder burns faster than black powder, and creates a higher peak pressure for the same muzzle velocity as a BP load. Continued shooting of light smokeless loads will cause the cylinder gap to grow and impair the timing. Shooting full-power smokeless loads could cause more serious and spectacular damage, so you do so at your own risk. I decided it wasn&#8217;t a problem to run a handful of light rounds through for the purposes of the video.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I believe this is the least expensive gun we have yet covered on Forgotten Weapons &#8211; this particular example cost me $49 at a local gun shop.
