...is it possible to load a primer on a sidekick without the primer carrier?...if not how long do they typically last?...what happens if H+R stops making them in the future....can the gun be fired without one?

Answer to your first question is Nope...won't work...Answer to #2, I've shot over 100 times thru the same carrier and still haven't had a primer loosen up ... and its still as red as it ever was, just clean it with soap and waterand a tooth brush...So if your still worried "will H&R stop making them" buy your self a couple of extra bags...they'll last ya a couple of life times....MTNMAN

Thanks MTNMAN, am considering the sidekick as my my first inline ml. Think I'll cash in my cabelas cash before c-mas. I only shoot traditional caps and flints...but would like to keep up with the times... :wink:

I hung an original Brown Bess That came down thru the family over the mantle when I bought my Huntsman and never looked back...quite the Little gun for the money...MTNMAN :wink:
