I have quite a few hours on muzzle loading revolvers (not mine)
I have been shooting muzzle loading firearms for the last 2 years and I own 5 already (pistol, Fowler and rifle)
I can feel the quality of the Ruger and I can hold it still perfectly fine.
I have shot much bigger metallic case revolvers in the past and actually out shot it's owner

I'll be fine with a Ruger, just need help finding one that is known to be of good quality/condition.
in my opinion......buy a stainless steel revolver
friend at club prefers blued guns and they are mint but stainless is best.
the pietta 1858 as small grips and not the best handling revolver but they can be shooters and just as good as the ruger but not where quality counts
