I noticed these mainly "Travelling", or "Pocket pistols" for sale in a M/L shop
they are so neat, with folding triggers, and sliding safety- made to fit in a pocket or purse- but , being muzzle loaders, where was the essential ramrod ?
Cleverly, the designer/gunsmith made the barrels to "Turn off" or unscrew, making them erstwhile breechloaders
All fine and dandy, but how to load one when the barrel is off, and you are holding a pistol sans barrel- do you pour the powder into the pistol part, and push the bullet into the barrrel or what? I'd be very cautious about screwing a thread with gunpowder in it. Can anyone enlighten?
Thanking thee
