That would be a greater hazard with my Colt's revolving rifle with a latent danger to the forearm when IT chain fires. Love the American Derringer in 45-70 with under barrel as .410 shot gun... same impact-to-hand issue. I own an original long trapdoor Springfield in 45-70 and that is the only round I reload in black or modern powder; The Sharp's carbine 45-70 is fussier and only takes factory rounds. If George had had those at the Greasy Grass, he could have held out till Terry arrived since they have no real eject spring problem... his poor maneuvering aside of course. Reno was luckier as two of his packers HAD two long trapdoors which effectively kept the native legions at a distance for two days.
