Hi all,
First time BP owner and shooter, just got my Pietta Colt 1851 Navy (brass frame, with factory engravings). I have a good amount of experience with modern firearms. I like the way BP firearms look, and I think their old timey nature, combined with the fact that every load is done by you, and not some factory, makes for a more intimate shooting experience. Akin to comparing an automatic transmission to a manual one. BP shooting is a way to partake in history. If I had the money for it, I think I'd get into reenacting. Anyway, that's the end of my rant. Look forward to interacting with you guys!
