Oh sweet, what caliber? That's a muzzle loader right? I'm pretty sure that's the only gun convicted felons can carry.

It's a Howdah pistol....20 guage and a special holster for about $21 was ordered with it. Muzzle loader and I expect to load five 00 buck in each barrel.

It's a fun thing....sorta like the one"Mississippi" carried in a John Wayne movie.:dude:

20 guage? :what:

I've never fired such a round, but it sounds like the recoil would take your arm off.

I have trouble enough handling my Kimber (.45) one handed.

I'm going to start with 50 grs of FFF per barreland go from there. I regularly fire 90 grs in my rifle and up to (?) 40 grsin my 44s with a 451 ball.

BTW....a .31 caliber is equal to 00 buck and I used to order 25 pounds of oo buck instead of higher prices for .31 cal balls.:celebrate

That movie would be El Dorado. Mississippi aka Alan Bedillion Trahern, played by Jamed Caan carried a sawed off double barrel, but i dont think it was a pistol gripped muzzle loader.

PS...El Dorado is one of my favorite westerns... I want Arthur Hunnincutts rifle... Cant tel what specific model but resembles a colt 1855 revolving rifle.
