The current issue of True West magazine (November 2020, with Emiliano Zapata on the cover) has a nice article on cap and ball revolvers, by Phil Spangenberger. I don't think hard-core blackpowder aficionados will find anything new or surprising in it, and there is really nothing about actually shooting these guns, but it does present a broad and informative historical overview, and it is illustrated with excellent photographs of currently available replicas of at least eleven specific revolvers, including a larger-than-life "centerfold" of the EMF/Pietta Paterson. There are a couple of old period photographs, also.
If you don't have a subscription, only you can decide if this article is worth the $5.99 cover price for the magazine. However, I thought the story was well written and nicely illustrated, and it's always good to see our black powder arms featured favorably in the mainstream media.
Best regards,
