Thanks. Looking for a fairly accurate one thats relatively easy to clean and reload. So many options and ive never shot one so not quite sure what to look for. Love my blackpowder rifle so want to get a revolver too

But be very careful - they multiply!
Beautiful! I can imagineThey all load basically the same way, all are fairly accurate when you find the right powder load and pretty similar when it comes to cleaning.
Cleaning after shooting BP isn't optional. But it's not hard. Hot soapy water is your friend. Keep them clean and coated with CLP or Ballistol between shooting and they will stay in great shape.

Keep your eyes open for a used Ruger Old Army in good shape. They are no longer in production but are built like a modern hand gun but with a cap and ball cylinder.

True that. Ruger Old Army pistols are in a class of their own.

For a new guy, I suggest a 1858 Remington for a couple of reasons. 1. The sights are larger and easier to see 2, they are less complicated which makes them easier to clean. You only have to take the grips off and then just clean with soap and water, dry in a 250* oven and lube and wipe with a silicone cloth.
The '58's are also stronger as the hooligan has stated. I would look for Cabela's sales or, if you are comfortable with Gunbroker, they have great deals.
Here is one.

Thats pretty cool. Thanks!like mentioned above, I have a Pietta 1858 that I got on sale at Cabelas
The 58 is easy to pull the cylindar as mentioned and use one of these.

AGC requires revolver loading stands and they are a pain but using these to load makes things go fast and the 58 is quick to pull the cylindar once you get the nack on the pin alignment.
If you're aiming at the Uberti Colt Walker, Cabela's is having a clearance sale (2 left) for $394.
