I've been wanting a new toy realy bad but the car parts and teenagers have been wipeing out my extra $$ like NRAJOE on a six pack
Im going to a few gun stores today and am thinking about putting something nice on Law_a-Way or just ordering a balck powder pistol out right (want an HK but out of my price range).....So I need some input on the black powder revolvers:
I noticed that Midsouth and Cabals has the Colt/Remington Army copies for about $110 these are 44 cal single action......but I have not realy looked around much. So here are the ????
The pistol will be used for plinking/targets....I have 2 black powder rifles so I know some things about cap/ball...but not about cap/ball pistols.
Does anyoen here own a cap/ball revolver? Are they "fun" to shoot or a major pain? Is 44cal about normal ... and any better than the 36 cal I've seen?? What the recoil like in a black powder revolver...ie 38, 9mm, 25acp?????? What is the "stoping" power of a cap/ball revolver.....Im guessing a 44cal is about equal to a modern 38....am I close?? Do they make black powder pistol bullets like they do for the rifles or am I going to be limited to round ball??? How accurate are these things...say 25 yards and under?
Ok thats about it for the ???? Need to have some of you all talk me into or out of getting one of these things....thanks all
