Well a lot of us shoot these single actions more than we shoot anything else and that makes a fine platform to base your defense upon. Yes they are slow to reload but incidents have proven that most gunfights are done within 3-5 shots. This places a BP revolver right in there.
Making sure your gun is reliable is the key. If you have good powder and caps and the caps stay put, then theBP revolver ought to be a viable choice. Yes the current batch of Hi Capacity semi-autos may be better bur if yiu are comfortable with and have a powerfull enough revolver you stand a good chance.
Actually nearly each version of the Colt or Remington were built to be fighting handguns and served their owners well. Today the bg has a distinct advantage with Hi Cap Mags and if you use a BP gun, make sure that you pratice!
Otherwise I think a B/P gun is a viable defensive weapon.
Boy the courts will have a heyday with it!
