So, I am looking to get into BP, and want a revolver. I have been Googling the crap out of things, but my brain has turned to mush and stuff is blurring together. I am looking for a revolver. I have been looking at 1848 Dragoons (big suckas), 1851, 1858, and 1860 revolvers.
1. Which model is best for a beginner?
2. I have seen brass, steel, and nickel frames? For BP, is there much difference in durability between the 3? I understand steel frames are recommended if planning to do a cylinder conversion. I may, or may not in the future, not sure, but the option is nice.
3. Brand differences. What is better, or not good? The brands I have seen are Traditions/Pietta, Uberti, some higher end Colt BP guns, and a company if I recall called Whitteny. Any that are better, or to stay away from?
4. Can you ONLY shoot round balls out of these, or can you shoot molder conical lead bullets? I am mainly looking for a .44 caliber revolver. Also considering buying BP pellets as well as just powder.
Thanks for any insight, suggestions, or tips. Have a good evening.
