black powder pistol question
osage outlaw:
Thanks for the info guys. Close shots shouldn't be a problem. I've killed 3 deer with a 44 magnum revolver. I just thought it would be an added challenge to do it with black powder. I'm trying to find out if its legal or not.
osage outlaw:
I guess they are legal in my state but it has to have a 12" barrel.
Muzzleloading handguns are allowed. The muzzleloading handgun must be single shot, .50 caliber or larger, loaded with bullets at least .44 caliber and have a barrel at least 12 inches long, measured from the base of the breech plug excluding tangs and other projections to the end of the barrel, including the muzzle crown.
Eric Krewson:
The Lyman pistol has a 9 3/4" barrel, time to make one that meets the regs.
mullet:
My first kit, an old CVA 45, has a 12" barrel and believe it or not is a tack driver at 40 yards.
bowtarist:
I have a .50 cal Lyman's plains pistol. Ultra accurate and I would not hesitate to hunt deer with it.
