I used to live in Toronto, which allowed me to visit the Friendship Indiana NLMRA shoots twice a year.I got to know Dan Kindig, owner of the Log Cabin Sports shop quite well.As a president of the NMLRA and Offhand Flintlock Champion, Dan knew a thing or two about black powder shooting, so when he stated that in his opinion, the 1862 New Police .36 was the smallest practical percussion revolver, I took it to heart, but with some regret,because I've always liked the '49 Pocket, Root and Remington 31's,but as Townsend Whelen said, "Only accurate guns are interesting."[I qualify that, as I have had a lot of fun with a pepperbox!]I've never had a 31 to try, so tell me, how much danger is a rabbit in at, say, 15 to 20 yards with only his head showing if the hunter has a .31 revolver?With my .31 underhammer, he'd be toast! Or stew, or somethin'!At 25 yards, Kieth's position, are 4" groups possible?
