Looking to buy a flintlock target pistol for recreational target shooting. Either .44 smoothbore or .45 rifled.
What are the pros and cons? Does the smoothbore load easier? I imagine a rifled pistol would need a loading stand to get anything close to a snug fit where the patch fills the grooves.
Thoughts?
