      EDC carry a BP

Or a Walker? Gun...

      Why no smokeless?

      I ask this out of curiosity and not because I would ever do it. With modern metallurgy, why are we warned to never load smokeless powder in them? Are these pistols inherently weaker than comparable modern revolvers?

      Do you display your revolvers?

      I have 4 revolvers that i keep hidden. Seems a shame to hide them or lock them away. I live in a safe area, and thinking of displaying them above the fireplace. But i do wonder if leaving them out is not the smartest move, you never know when you may have a B&E. So, lets hear your opinion...

      Elk Neck range

      Question for all you experienced guys. EN rules say you must shoot from bench rest, no free standing shooting. What fun is that with a BP pistol? Im shooting 25 yards not sniping at 1500 yards. Are they serious?

      What did I get into?

      Back when I had my Hawken it was real black powder and a flint. Now i reading that real BP has become a dinosaur and synthetic loads have taken over. Triple7, some 209 stuff. 40 grains of BP aint 40 grains anymore. And dont get me started on different percussion caps matching to the type of...
