And which pistol do you prefer for each of the events you shoot, whether smoothbore flintlock single shot, rifled percussion single shot, or as-issued percussion revolver: and why?

One of the clubs I'm in has lot of black powder comps, for everything from revolvers and single shot pistol to muzzle loading and BPCF rifles. Personally I only enter the revolver comps as that's all I've got. For revolver comps they have to be spirit of the original so I can only use my 1860 Army. Which is bad for me as I can't shot my Ruger Old Army very well with its adjustable sights, so you can imagine how bad I am with the 1860 Army

I don't shoot competition with my .44 partly because I'm totally crap but, mainly, because I just enjoy pulling the trigger, feeling the kick in my hand and watching the world vanish in a cloud of smoke.
The biggest problem facing this country today is not the terrorist. It's the politician.

I miss with the Old Army and really miss with 1860 I just about keep it with in 5" with the Old Army but can't group with the 1860 grip wise there's not much difference except of course there's the extra heft of the Old Army. As for clean up the Old Army SOOOO much easier being stainless
