just a thought, can you get BP cap and ball versions of modern revolvers? im asking for a slot for .44 or .45 and fancy something a little different..
if not is there a gap in the market?

There is no "I" in "Team", but there are four in "Platitude-Quoting Idiot".
Do you know I've often thought there would be a market for such a thing. A nice S & W 686 or a Taurus with a 6in barrel that fired .36 wadcutters. Sadly I know of no such thing. I've often thought it would be worth some enterprising Italian making a perfect copy of a Beaumont Adams revolver. I tried one a few years ago and considering the gun was 140 years old, the double action was remarkably smooth. How about it Euroarms?
If you want something different how about the Patriot
The Patriot is a muzzle loading nitro burning ISSF centrefire section one pistol.The firepower emanates from a five shot magazine block which is loaded with individual components from the front.

Should work now!
Sorry - fat fingers!
It does!
Well, it started off as a conventional DA cartridge revolver. It still looks like one: has the same construction and dimensions: fires smokeless powder: and while it's still a muzzleloader, and apparently a slow pain in the arse to reload..... under present UK law, I believe it's the closest thing to an operational, conventional. modern, smokeless cartridge pistol you're going to get.
Living in the US, it would be interesting to me mainly as a novelty. The LBR's, though, strike me as something that fill their own niche in the firearms world. While I'll probably never own one, I'd like to fire one some day. But probably never will get a chance.
