Reply With QuoteNice looking but open frame revolvers aren't really a very good idea for accurate target shooting. Also the lack of decent sights is a real pain in percussion Colt revolvers. But whatever floats your boat. I should stick to the Rogers and Spencer.

First time BP'er
I just wanted to say what a great time I had last night shooting BP Pistol for the first time, three hours flew by! I had great fun shooting a Rogers & Spencer .44 & a Colt .36 Navy. I definetly want to get into this!
I was surprised by how small the Colt was, almost too small for my fist. Which is a pity because I prefer the look of the Colt models.

I'm useless even with the sights!

We all were when we started. Shooters who start with Black Powder in a way are at a disadvantage because the noise, the smoke and the flash can cause you to flinch when you first start. Its subconscious but it happens nevertheless. Those of us who started on smokeless cartridges didn't have that disadvantage and we could fire 100 shots in a session at the range. You have to go some to do that with a black powder revolver.
But you will get more accurate with practice. Just give yourself the best chance by buying someting that makes it a bit easier.
