Hey all
I've never owned a BP revolver, but have wanted one for years. After reading an article in the current issue of Backwoodsman magazine, my attention has again shifted to them, and I figure now is as good a time as any to get one.
For now I'm trying to avoid brass frames, (the cheaper prices are very tempting!) and "half frames" meaning frames without the top strap over the cylinder......pistols w/o the top straps look as though you can break them in half!!
I also want a hefty and DURABLE "Clint Eastwood" sized pistol in a large caliber.
This Remington seems to fit the bill, even though it's more than what I want to spend

I'm sure some of you own this pistol....do you like it? Good gun for the price etc etc??
Another thing is that the wesite says that you need a .451 roundball, but I already have a .440 round ball mould for my rifle..........could I "get away" with using a .440 in this pistol, not blow myself up and still get decent accuracy?
Ahh.......I'm full of questions!
Please give me your feedback gentlemen, I'm all ears!
thanks
