I'm thinking the non historic but appearing in "Andersonville" Pietta Brassie 1851 .44 snubnose for a paper popper, plinker... I do like to have guns just to take to the range if I'm having a bunch of guns.
Pretty much got away from shooting after nearly losing a leg, being told I wouldn't work on my feet again, blah blah. Now I can walk a couple of miles so I'm back. Sort of, I'm liking the black powder revolvers and want to own more than I'll use. I can stand a range queen in case.
I actually bought my Pietta steel frame 1860 for 30 gr pyrodex .454 ball and 25 gr pyrodex 200 gr Lee conical. A general goofing off revolver when you don't really need a gun but might want one in the woods type of gun.
I would not be too worried about triple se7en at 30 gr but only because I've seen enough folks post results to believe that it's been done successfully.
Most of the time I'm like Rod, mine are tools and get carried more than shot. I do want light loads for light work but I have been acquiring them after research on the ballistics. It's more engaging and challenging than a model 10, looks better to me, and the cool factor seals it.
I'll carry my 1860 for any sort of goofing off I would have taken a .38 to handle as a younger man. I won't be wearing it to work the next day so I can make that call.
Get the cheap brassie snubbie 1851 .44 and I can turn mine into a 'pocket' .44 steel frame because Pietta frames are apparently tooled alike.
