I love reading about and fooling around with percussion revolvers - especially the Colt pattern revolvers. It's great to find a site that specializes in them, and with very knowledgable members!
By the way, I'm 65 years old and retiring on December 31 of this year. Spent my entire career in engineering, and am a kind of rare bird, having worked my way up from a draftsman/detailer to a senior engineer without benefit of a college degree. Also spent about 45 years as a volunteer fireman, retiring from that gig as Fire Chief of a three-station fire department - the last volunteer fire chief for that department, as my replacement was full-time paid.
In my retirement I plan on doing a lot more shooting of all sorts, including my percussion revolvers. (I find that the older I get the more I appreciate the old sorts of things and ways to use them. By the time I die I'll probably be running around the woods with a rock tied to a stick!)
