For me it is cuz it would be 10 years minimum before I got my dang gun back from the "uhthorITee's. Thats why I carry my LEAST favorite gun when I carry.

That's about it. If you don't shoot on an outdoor jaunt, wipe the gun off and store it in a dry place. The powder will last months, if not years, and will not hurt the gun. As for personal defense, an exhaustive test a few years ago proved the percussion .44s were on a par with .44 and .45 caliber centerfire revolvers...not counting the Magnums. Get one and enjoy the heck out of it!paradork said:I guess this has turned into a BP as a protection thread. I have no doubts about its capabilities, just was wondering about having a cylinder I can put in it and go for a walk in the woods. If I manage not to shoot cause they sound like so much fun I can just wipe the gun down and not have to worry a lot about it. Its still one I'd have to keep a close eye on I understand. The thought of using a gun for protection makes me uneasy. I think I'd get a lot more use outa one of these than a pocket sized revolver. Thanks for the advice and input. Now I just gotta find one on sale.
Didn't think you had! :thumbsup:Cynthialee said:sorry I didn't plan on turning the topic
MSW said:Deputy, that's got to be the strangest story I've heard in many years ... sort of thing MythBusters would do ...
why go to all that trouble?
Do I assume correctly that when the cops arrived she pretty much 'fessed up?
does kinda leave you scratching your head...
:hmm:

Cynthialee said:Well having been in the position of having to rely on a BP pistol in a moment of need I have no problems doing so again.
I haven't had a FTF with a BP cap and ball in a very long time. But I am very meticulous and careful as I load a revolver. Takes me about 15-20 minutes to get the job done. Back when I would just load and not take my time I would get FTF at least once out of six shots.
If you take care to do it right every time, your FTF rate goes down substantially.
