Hello Richard and I figgered that you would think that.
IMO, the cap post FAR exceeds the solid hammer as I like keeping the option of a fully loaded revolver (not to mention most CASS/SASS shooters would agree that the solid hammer is less than perfect and the post is close to perfect . . . but then who are they?).
The fact that the cap does come loose and the fact that a post is therefore between it and the hammer means the hammer will not pull the cap and or frags to the rear and allow access to the action. With a revolving cyl to deflect the spent cap away and to the right, you can't ask for better performance.
The slow motion footage at the end of Brushhippies fanning of the '51 shows the caps flying off to the right . . . . just like they're supposed to, if they don't stay on the nipple.
The post or rake doesn't take anything away from the revolver, is heralded as the best solution by those in Competition (I get asked weekly about them) and isn't cap/nipple sensitive.
The solid hammer still allows caps that come loose after firing to fall back into the action ( there's nothing to keep that from happening) , removes the ability to use the safety pins, and puts the burden of finding the "right cap with the right nipple and the right charge" ( to hopefully have the caps not come off the nipple after firing) on the shooter and hopefully able to keep a supply of the appropriate caps (not certain with todays situation). Not what I would call a solution in the least, more of a hopefull hindrance. Of course, that's my opinion.
