I have indicated a few times here and there that I have a hankering for a .36 BP pistol - Navy Colt type as per Wild Bill Hickok. Previously, I had thought that only Uberti made them but looking on Guntrader revealed that there are several makers, including Colt themeselves (albeit pricey).

So, in the opinion of those of you who are familiar with BP pistols which is the best manufacturer and why?
