Bigbadgun that thing look's positively dangerous. (to the user) What guarantee can you give me that I won't blow my damn foot off when I try to pull it out of my boot?!....Come on ya'll. Let's get a thread going here. Bigbadgun is good people. Let's help this thread along, what you think?...Okay...P.S. But I ain't buying one of those things. Look's like a damn crack pipe made over in Pakistan somewhere...Okay...
 
Dang, I would have been down but just bought a Lyman GPR and GP pistol kits.
 
Already have one. Fun little novelty gun, fairly accurate at a few paces. Its not like other box lock types the main spring is located in front of the trigger and isn't very powerful and takes a couple of tries to pop the cap. Not my favorite but for the money I can't complain too much. Word of caution, you need to keep the trigger gaurd screws tight or the hammer will not stay cocked.

Ok I am gonna get 1 for the money it cant be all bad just 4 more people.
I am banging it off my local guys as well and waiting for a responce from them
I am trying different things to get group buys going here and for $60 bucks its not that bad a deal.
 
Howdy Folks,
I have one of these that I just love. I haven't used a ball in it yet, just shot. Put in 12 grains of 777 ff, a wad, 100 grains of #9 shot, and a real thin cardboard wad (just enough to keep the shot from falling out), cap it, put a shot 22 short casing over the cap and let the hammer down on that. There is no half cock on the pistol and a fellow shooter on a forum suggested the 22 casing and it works wonderfully.
Now the way I use it. Last winter when the snow was on I would throw about a cup of cracked corn about 10-15 feet out the dining room door and set back and wait. It wouldn't be 15 minutes until a flock of blackbirds would land on it. I would ease the door open just a little and BOOM. I would get 5-10 each time. Most of them I had to finish off with the 22, but it keeps them off my bird feeders. We haven't had any snow yet this year but I am ready and waiting. This is the only time that I hate "Global Warming".
 
My Goodness Shawnee,
I would use the Winchester 12 gauge on that mess.
You can use at least the same weight as the ball that you use in it, maybe a little more.
