I've just been out and had a crack with a couple of BP revolvers today, and I think I'm going to be sending in a variation very soon!

I'd always seen black powder pistols (and don't tell me off here!) as the noddy alternative to "real" pistols. But I was incredibly wrong! I used a couple of .36 1851 and 1861 models, I think they were Pedersoli today and I'm straight on the web looking for more information.

I'd like the idea of a stainless one, for ease of cleaning, and I doubt I'd use real blackpowder because of all the fuss involved with its storage and such. What sort of price would I be looking at for a full setup? I've seen some nice BP pistols for around the £100 mark, which I think is pretty reasonable for a firearm of any form.

Any guidance and useful dealer links would be greatly appreciated!
