OT Black Powder Weapons

[mikeo80]

I know this is a very well read and very well armed group.

Have any of you considered adding a black powder weapon to your personal "stash"?

If so, what kind?

Right now I am thinking about a .36 Navy Colt. Thoughts? Comments?

I am also looking at a 1861 Springfield Rifle. (Very far off in future right now)

I look at the Colt as a good back up if SHTF. Good size caliber, but something I can handle. It should stop most bad guys. Caps/balls/blackpowder/pyrodex are available right now. Cost is not too crazy. Could be used for hunting up to white tail deer. (I know I would have to get close. )

Looking forward to your observations.
