I've been looking at black powder handguns a lot lately but have so far stalled on buying one as I know -very- little about them.
I'd pretty much decided on an 1860 Army in .44, but that's mostly down to not knowing too much about what is out there. I figure I'll just fire off my questions and if they've been asked and answered before, I'll take my lumps! I read Gatofeo's excellent stickied articles but I still have a couple of questions:
1) Are the Cabela's black powder pistols and kits worth the money? And if not, where should I be shopping? I've been close to ordering the item below a mess of times, but I just don't know anyone who's shot one of their pieces and the lack of a named manufacturer makes me a little (lot) wary.

2) Is it practical to shoot BP pistols on an indoor range at all? I ask because my closest range is indoors and the only easily accessible outdoor one is a fair distance away.....
