Black powder pistols

I had one a long time ago, a Cabela's special in .44 with a 12" barrel. It was a hoot to shoot. I can't remember where it went, I'm sure it was traded off. The above advice is good stuff. Read up on what to do with a hang fire. Black powder can take a loooooong time to go off sometimes. In other words, you think the cap was a squib but it will go off. When I shoot my black powder rifle, if it doesn't go off I let it sit for a full minute before trying again or unloading it. The cleaning advice is important, do it the same day and be thorough. Have fun! It's cool to squint through the smoke cloud to see if you hit what you were aiming for.
