Dont go for a Colt, go for a Remmington, Rogers and Spencer or a Ruger old army, preferably in stainless if you can afford it.
Just ask for one in .44 and one in .36, you can choose what you want later. You dont need to go the black powder route, you can use the alternatives which need no extra paper work or restrictions.
There are two trains of thought, those who stick to the spirit of the original and those that stick to the requirement of the FAC that is target shooting.
Muzzle loaders are not everyones cup of tea, thats why there are loads of cheap secondhand one available in mint condition and cheap. I've brought guns for £60 and even had a couple just given to me.
Every revolver is different and you need to "learn" it's little traits that make it different. They can be dead accurate and print cloverleafs or group over a foot and you have to work with them to get the best out of them.
