    Help with caliber and identification

    Thanks for the replies. Origin is possibly from SouthWest Asia. I had someone very familiar with black powder look it over, and his opinion was that it should be safe to shoot. Any particular reason why it may not be safe to do so?

    Do you carry with a round chambered?

    Carry the way you practice. I holster frequently at the range, and I decock/safety before I holster. I don't want the T shirt snagging the trigger and shooting myself in the butt. The draw disengages the safety when the holster is cleared.
