Black powder revolvers must be unloaded very carefully to avoid accidents.
Here is a safe way to do it:
1. Point the revolver in a safe direction and make sure that it is not loaded.
2. Remove the cylinder from the gun frame. This can be done by pulling on the ejector rod, located on the right side of the gun, or by rotating the cylinder and lifting it out of the frame.
3. Inspect each chamber to make sure that there is no black powder inside. If there is, remove it with a cleaning brush or other tool.
4. Replace the cylinder into the frame of the gun and make sure that it locks into place.
5. Point the gun in a safe direction and pull the trigger to release any tension on the springs.
You should now have a safely unloaded black powder revolver.
Before unloading a black powder revolver, make sure the gun is pointed in a safe direction and that your fingers are outside of the trigger guard.
- To unload a black powder revolver, first, open the loading gate.

Always point the gun in a safe direction and keep your fingers away from the trigger when unloading.
