I don't see how he's cocking that thing! (It does appear to be modified).

Bob's great! I have seen him perform on a number of occasions. The revolver is highly tuned, but not really modified, in that it still functions like a SAA. He cocks the hammer multiple times by "brushing" with the extended fingers of his left hand - index, middle, ring, etc. Kids, don't try this a home! :lol:

By the by, that is a pretty old video of Bob. :wink:

Like Grizzly Adams said, I've seen one of Bob's shows and it's really amazing what he can do with that Colt SAA. I actually met him and talked SAA's. Held his guns and cycled them, unreal how smooth they were. The two balloon shot really does sound like one shot in person.

I seem to remember a clip of Thell Reed doing something similar - only he was shooting slugs, and the balloons were 30 feet from him - and 30 feet apart from one another. The shots sounds like just one "boom". The slow-motion shows that they weren't.

Unreal...
