Britannia youtube vid is finally up!

Just curious, but are the leather gloves to protect the finish of the rifle, or to protect your fingers from the somewhat scary beartrap between the trigger and the cylinder?

Hi,

When I first got it someone told me to wear cotton gloves to protect the finish but I found they slid around a bit on the metal grip and made it difficult to exercise good trigger technique.
I got some leather gloves and gave them a good coating in gun oil and found they really helped as they were quite grippy.

Scary bear trap looks scary but as long as you keep your fingers well clear it's fine.

Got the pellet pen as a result and found that a very useful accessory.

Glad you liked the vid.

Cheers,
Matt

Given the choice between looking like Mickey Mouse, or The Terminator....
