Yesterday my Dad graciously let me and my friends take his BP pistol out -- even accompanied me to make sure it went alright.
The pistol is a .45 Philadelphia Derringer caplock pistol that my Dad put together when he was 18 or 19 and is a nice piece. The barrel is about 2", so when loaded, that only gives the ball about 1" of barrel travel... Not very accurate. At all.
But boy is it fun! Why? I can't explain. Maybe it's the piratey factor.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share a photo:
