Temptation strikes again! In pursuit of the cheap and good 1911, an adversary appears. This time, it is something I never even considered; a black powder revolver in .44. What's worse, the damn thing is on sale and now most definately in my price range. A really big bonus is that the thing is black powder so I don't have to worry about a pistol permit (I think...) and costs as much as the pistol permit itself would if I were to stay the original course. It also takes insanely less paperwork and time to obtain. I have no illusions of using obtaining a carry permit where I live (damn near impossibe), and I would use a shotgun for home defense should the need arise anyways. Even if I were pressed to use it for HD, 6 shots with a spare cylinder would be adequate. It is aslo a BIG FREAKING GUN, so that could be a plus for that as well. Of course I have the list of questions ready.
Has anyone ever shot this or any BP revolver?
Can I use .44 bullets meant for reloading on .44 magnum? (I am capable of pouring lead just fine though)
anything else at all you think could be helpful
I'm sure I will think of more at a later time.
Edit: I think I would get the starter kit with it as well. That would change the price a bit, but not a lot.
