So i picked up two more guns today. A davis 32acp derringer. And a traditions 44cal cap and ball revolver that is still wrapped in plastic bag and oiled up never been used. The black powder is something totally new to me never messed with one before. So any info on them would be helpful.  I saw they still make this model as it is listed on their website. Looks like it sells new for $335 which means I got a smoking deal on it..

Measure every powder charge and seat balls quite firmly. Find a shady spot and take some time shooting them at a relaxed pace. Clean them in hot water with a little Dawn right after you get done shooting.
