I don't need it, I want it. But all these lovely old hammer guns seem fraught with peril. Damascus barrels, black powder proof, nitro proof, fluid steel, sleeved barrels, etc. It's a different and complicated language on this learning curve. What's a guy to to do if he's willing to shoot (and pay for) RST softy loads, but isn't sure that even those can keep his eyes in his head and all his digits attached? In other words, I need a primer on buying a hammer gun that won't blow up. It's a lot to ask, but teach a man to fish.
Have you noticed Joe that it's a slippery slope you're venturing on to here (LOL).
