It's hard shooting BP with all the time-outs rangemasters give!
Seems you just get one step done and it's Cease Fire again!
Well I got BP to slow ammo consumption and boy have I!
Sometimes in a 4 hr session, I only get 24 shots! Then I have to clean em up no matter what!
It's not really a hassle. Windex and water, dry and apply Break-free. Simple.
I need a couple more BP Revolvers! Just cause it'll be the last they take. Harmless against Nato guns!
I am in a great club who appreciates BP and promotes it. I looked long and hard to find a good club with BP AND CAS!
Club membership might be the only salvation to the shooting sports, that and Airguns.
BP is fascinating .36 vs .44 different loads different bullets and with modern guns, accurate shooting!
Todays guns are made so well and out of the best materials, they are better than the origonals!
Components are the best too!
I prefer Pyrodex, Remington caps and use lubed wads. All makes it cleaner!
Crisco was a mess. BP was dirty and inconsistant and it was tougher to clean!
OK so I only get 30 shots on a good day, it's all fun!
Besides the intrest in BP brings about some very good question sessions! We both learn from them! As a teacher, I try and give as much history as possible!
I let some people shoot the guns but theere are some that you'd better not let shoot.
Fanners, quick draw etc.
I pride myself in my revolvers and keep them shiney and clean. I don't leave them loaded.
In the worst of times, I will load the BP revolvers.
NP was first just a diversion for me. now they are an obsession historically and for the fun of it!
I own 6 revolvers, the best of the lot is the Uberti .36 '1851 London model!
I have NEVER felt an action so smooth or precise! It's so easy to operate and cock! I don;t know what Uberti does (maybe the Fulcrums of the axis'es of the hammer and trigger?
Anyhow it is the most accurate, has the best action, and is the best feeling grip of all my BP Revolvers! I'd like to have a cartrige conversion on that gun!
5 shots of round balls is a dangerous load!
I also have a sweet Piettia Sheriff's model that is the smallest, holds 6 and has a full size .36 caliber cylinder!
In fact the gun is a '62 Navy with a chopped (Factiry) barrel. Itshoots well enough for a fighting gun. It has a full size Navy Frame and all just a short bbl!
Piettia took a chance there and I think it'll pay off!
The original Police was a 5 shot (4 shooter) and used a .31 frame.
I think the Piettia is going to be a fine gun for everything!
My others are .44's 2 Remmies and a colt Brass clone.
Pyrodex does well in all!
I want a Rogers and Spencer and a Whitney. I like fixed frames!
I never got into the rifles.
The leather gear is cool but to get the good stuff, you need to go custom built.
You can get by with Cabelas but it'll just hold the gun and not "set it off" on a nice holster.
BP is lotsa fun! I hope they let us keep em for a long while yet!
