Shame the Reichsrevolver didn't see service.
It did, just not front line service.
These old revolvers were no more capable and in fact perhaps less capable than the old Colt cowboy revolver. the model 1873.
(Webley being a major exception)
The Reichsrevolver being good for six shots and then used as a club. Trying to reload in combat?? remove cylinder pin and drop cylinder out to the side, use cylinder pin to punch empties out one at a time, re-assemble the 3 pieces and then load one round at a time through the loading gate. OR take
supplied stick or rod from ammo pouch and punch empties out one at a time through the gate.
At least the Colt and the old French revolvers had a spring loaded ejector rod attached to the gun to cut the juggling act to a minimum.
The Colt was also chambered for quite a variety of cartridges, a number of them much more powerful than the French or German cartridges.
The Webley was fast to unload.
AS the gun was opened the extractor would rise until the fired cases were clear of the cylinder, un-fired rounds would still have the bullets in the chamber. opening the gun a bit further and the extractor would snap closed. loaded rounds, if any, should fall back into place. In some cases (private purchase?) a speed loader holding six cartridges was available making reloading much quicker than sticking rounds in one or two at a time.
The Webley also used a fairly powerful round.
Please note that on any of these revolvers that use the 6 shot extractors (Webley, Colt, Smith&Wesson, etc)
that a piece of dirt or crud that gets under the extractor "star" can prevent the cylinder from being swung back into the gun. I have had it happen from unburned grains of powder.
