Hello all-
I recently found this website while looking to get some answers for my cap-sucking 1862 Police Ubertis. The information, attitude, and humor displayed agreed with me, so I hitched on. I am on a number of other sites under my OldFrenchy moniker.
I am in my later sixties, and I live in San Diego. I have been involved with BP shooting since I was 15 when I was living in France where one could not purchase a single shot .22 without extensive permits, but one could purchase an 1858  .44 Remington  over the counter, no questions asked. My tutor was the book Sixguns by Keith. I cast and reload for all of my firearms.
In the intervening time I have acquired a few different models of percussion revolvers, mostly Ubertis for the historical accuracy.
I look forward to the informed and humorous discussions that brought me here in the first place.

Welcome OldFrenchy! We're practically neighbors! I live just north of Temecula.

It's nice to know people see us for what we are, fun and easy going. I'm glad you decided to join us. I hope you enjoy it here!

Thank you all for your warm welcomes!
When I get a chance I'll round up some of my pistols for a photo shoot of sorts.
