You can't go wrong with a steel frame 8" barrel 1858 PIETTA. I have had mine for well over 30 years and it is a shooter. Has the fluted cylinder and pearl like grips. It was my weapon of choice for years during the Arizona javelina HAM season. (Handgun, Archery and Muzzleloader.) Too old and geed up to chase those skunk hogs anymore.

With Black Powder what is not need to propel the projectile out the barrel flys out the barrel and burns up.
