Upon reading the article you'll find this MSNBC "reporter" does far more to advance the cause of gun grabbers and the Brady people than that of CC and 2nd amendment advocates. Just the "packing heat" nonsense in the title makes his position pretty clear. Why not write that Americans are "taking...

The Founders made it pretty clear. They would deny weapons to criminals, the mentally deficient and traitors. Of course, DC is filled with all three.

You might try Georgia Arms. Like many, many others I was having one heck of a time finding .45LC rounds. I use cowboy loads in an 1858 New Army Conversion. Georgia Arms delivers 100 rounds from Atlanta for $63.00. (Brand new ammo, of course) I can't tell you about other ammo prices, but check...

I've had a 5 shot S&W .38 Airweight for nearly 50 years. They are great weapons and tremendous CC guns. Not rated for +P ammo, but it doesn't really matter. A fine, straight shooting pistol.

VTI Replica for Pietta or Uberti.

One thing about a good BP cap and ball or cartridge pistol...they are heavy. But that's a great feel and makes even big load recoils seem almost like .22s compared with lighter weapons and hi-test smokeless rounds.

Just moved here a couple of years ago and I finally found a range last year. So far I'm the only black powder shooter I've seen on the pistol side. I've fired my Great Plains on the rifle area on 2 or 3 occasions and have not seen a BP shooter there either. This is north-central Kentucky!!! I...

I like the 1851 in the posted picture. Also really like the 1858 Army...the Remington style w/top strap.

Uberti provides a slew of caliber choices for their pistols. I've pretty much settled on .45 LC, just to stick with one type of ammo.

I understand. My addiction is to 7-8" barrel, SA revolvers. Someone in God's "birthing department" clearly screwed up. I should have been born about 165 years ago.

"This product cannot be shipped to New Jersey..." Isn't that a disgrace!!

Hoppe's 9 and a whole lot of cleaning patches always work for me. I've also taken to using a Winchester product called Break Free Powder Blast. It doesn't take the place of much of the work, but as an aerosol spray, it lets you get some of the tight spots where patches and rags just won't reach.

I bought the brass frame 1851 for the $119 sale price last year and it has worked very well. More than a few rounds have been fired with about a 20 grain load. The gun is accurate--once you learn how it likes to be sighted--and has never caused a problem.

1st, 2nd and 3rd model dragoons are $350 from the Possible Shop. $375 for the Walker.

If you're looking for "cheap", you can buy a decent flintlock pistol for $300-$400. That beats the $700-$1000 for a pretty good rifle. Cabela's offers a flintlock Hawken KIT in the high $300s or a Kentucky rifle for around $500. But the people here who are telling you that "cheap" and...
