Dads wanting a BP 44 caliber revolver for Xmas.

[DadSmith]

He said nothing over $200. However, he's behind times on price of BP revolvers.

He said he wanted a cheap, but reliable BP revolver in 44 6-8" barrel. What are some good BP revolvers for a good price?

I know next to nothing about this myself. So I'm going to rely on our INGO Black Powder enthusiasts.

If he wants to actually shoot it much I'd recomend a pistol with a Backstrap-'58 remington style .

Most accurate are the top strap guns, like the Remington 1858 repros. As BP guns typically don't get shot much by people that own them I recommend the open top guns like the Colt 1860 Army. They are the easiest to disassemble and clean completly. Get him a can of Ballistol to go with the gun.

Colt's have the additional possibility of having a cut out for a stock.

Had one of the stainless Remington's from Cabela's decades ago- fun, accurate, a bit messy to clean. Wish I'd kept it!

Really nice looking one in the classifieds right now. With all the stuff

Is it listed under handguns or is there a BP section?

Before you buy the pistol, look around and see if you can buy the correct size caps and a can of BP. Last I saw BP was between $25 and $30/lb. not counting Haz Mat charges. BP substitute is more readily available, but caps are a real issue, just like primers. BP is great fun though!

This looks like a good BP deal to me, unless you must have all new.

Prediction is stopping for Goex so real black is going to be harder to find. I have used 777 but it can be hard to find also.
