Hawg, I did purchase some of Blackie's gun butter out of curiosity. It's very soft and after a couple of months it has started to separate and the oil is puddling. I make my own lube concoctions so I don't need anything commercially produced, but it did work on a pair of Uberti Remingtons for about 40 shots each. However, I used it on top of each chamber as well so the stuff was going everywhere so I suppose that really helped.
I now believe in this approach--cap & ball needs a soft but not runny lube but bullet lube grooves gets something stiffer.
G Dog, I know that "Hickok" 75 yard shot is not impossible. I have access to property owned by NSSA guys and I used to finish my shooting day with a cap & ball pistol by unloading my last six shots at a 2'X4' steel plate set at that distance. I could usually get 3 hits anyway.

Yeah but he puts it down the barrel.

The Dupont caps are older than the UMC caps. I've got some Dupont tins from the late 60's early 70's. The Fiocchi tin is pre 72.

Yes, they work.
Rem. 10's  = CCI 11's = RWS 1075'S

I use factory nipples. RWS 1075 are too big. Remington #10's fit good. CCI #10's are tight but they're all I use. CCI #11's are too big.

Coyotes are pretty timid down here. No badgers, porcupines or prairie dogs. I used a 30-06 for hogs. Nothing but a range toy for me. My opinion is mine, nothing more.

The stock, pistol grip and handguard are plastic. You can get wood stocks etc for them.

How many decades has Ruger been producing dual cylinder Blackhawks?  9mm in a single action is nothing new.
Am I running out to buy one?  No, but it might be fun, and that's all the justification many guns need.

 I feel that way abut .45 ACP or 10mm in a wheel gun.
Morally wrong but if it floats your boat? I also won't own an AR on principle, stocks should be wooden. But it's become the (like a Wrangler) Barbie for men, in popularity.

I bought an AR but only because the left doesn't want me to have one. My wife liked it so much she had to have one. I sold mine but I still have hers. I do not understand the popularity of them. The .223/5.56 cartridge is about as worthless as they come. They're fun to play with now and then, kinda like a .22 LR on steroids but they serve no practical purpose. People start modding them before they even shoot them. They really are Barbie's for men. I put a scope on mine and not some LVPO or whatever the Hell it's called but a real 3-9x40 scope. My wife's has a red dot but only because she had a hard time with the scope. I better shut up before I really tick somebody off.

I get the popular cartridge thing but 9mm?  Makes for a heavy Remington or Colt.

No heavier than a .38 special.
