Diablo Peeps

[Teaxs Bill]

I am brand new to the muzzle loading world & would like to interact with people who have 12 gauge muzzleloaders, especially the Diablo. Are you out there?

 

[Historian]

Why shoot one of those when you can have a Pedersoli Howdah which can handle more? Look it up. Not to mention looks a whole lot better.

The forum doesn't consider the Diablo double barrel pistol to be a traditional gun that was made before 1866. It closely resembles a modern break open shotgun with a pistol grip.

This is a traditional muzzleloading gun site and the end of the Civil War is our forums cutoff date for the things we discuss. Of course, Private Messages can be sent talking about it.

The Howdah on the other hand is similar to the pre 1866 guns because it has external side locks.

Well, I'll be the knucklehead in this thread that says the title made me immediately visualize red hot 'Peeps' for Easter.....Sounds really good actually.

Probably about the only kind of hot chick I could handle these days....lol

No kidding. If a hottie showed up here with the wife gone I’d give her a hundred if she’d mow the front pasture.....

We're all going to be drawn to & shoot what appeals to us. Sounds like i may have accidentally stumbled into the wrong room. Sorry. New here, new to muzzleloaders

Bob only if she had on daisy dukes.

Thank you. I'll try to avoid trampling into unwelcoming territories.

 

[Zonie]

You are not trampling into unwelcome territories. It's just the particular gun you were asking about.

As far as shooting a muzzleloader, they all pretty much shoot the same and load the same. I don't think the powder load and shot load for a 12 guage pistol would be as large as what a shoulder mounted gun would use but the wads would be the same.

pm me and we will discuss it

Not sure how to pm from here, but would be cool. Thx.
I shut down my profile here. If Zonie is their type of moderator, this isnt my kind of site. Sometimes, customer service (personality) is as important as the business (topic). Whenever someone wants to learn about weapons, everything within the field should be welcomed. If for nothing else, the vast experience of SAFETY knowledge that experienced muzzleloaders may possess that could keep someone safe. Feel free to pm me, I'd appreciate that. Thank you

Bill there’s a site for the newer stuff where all the ‘Diablo’ guys are. Don’t take offense, most hobby forums are niche and set up for the folks with those narrow interests. If you go to a forum for antique wooden sailing boat hobbyists and want to talk about Plastic catamarans you’ll get pointed somewhere else. Thats good for everyone. The folks with the experience you’re looking for are on modernmuzzleloader.com or similar. Just don’t ask about flintlocks over there or you’ll get sent right back here....

Good luck in your search. Looks like a fun gun.

 

[J2shortt]

Took me 10 weeks to get mine. It's well worth the wait

 

[Zonie]

I'm locking this thread.
As I said, we don't discuss that gun on the forum.
