Anyone fire one of these? (.36 cal boot pistols) I've seen them listed recently in the shotgun news, etc for like 50$ from Southern Ohio Guns. They're .36 caliber with a screw off removable barrel I think, and listed as a backup piece used by mariners, etc around the civil war.
Wonder how much potency one would have? The earliest bp revolvers were .36 caliber weren't they? And then I believe that around the civil war they were found to be too light, and thus the 45 cal revolvers came out...
Anyway, wondering if anyone else has info, experience with these...
