That's not got much of a kick to it and not particularly loud either.

Please excuse my ignorance but how is that legal? I'm sure it must be ok otherwise you wouldn't post it up on here.
I think it's quite cool and I'd be interested to know 
Cheers

Cheers!

Like a mate jolted me back to reality with when I was thinking of buying a very expensive watch (toy)--"personally, I can't see the
point."
He was right.

Sorry about that guys, should have thought about it not being work safe. It certainly wouldn't have been at my last work.
When hand guns were banned they didn't ban black powder stuff so yes it is perfectly legal, also long barreled pistols are allowed too.
Personally I think banning hand guns and allowing all this stuff is rediculous.

Ok So what's the difference between a black powder one and a regular 'cowboy one' with shells?

The black powder pistol you have to load each individual chamber with a measure of black powder, a swap, a lead ball and a percusion cap.
With a regular bullet piston you load 6 selfcontained bullets/shells
The difference is that it takes significantly longer to load a black powder pistol.

ok and the other difference is that the black powder is legal - but presumably you still need a permit?

How much was it? It looks in good condition for the age i think it would be.

Am I right in thinking that's a double action one? can you get single action ones where you only have to pull the trigger?

Mookaloid, thats a single action pistol. I fired one a few years ago, and was surprised at how 'soft' the recoil was, but it chokes you
with white smoke! A good reloader can load six loads in a couple of minutes.
Liam, in addition to an FAC, dont you also need a Black Powder license? - Or do you use the synthetic replacement powder? Black Powder is covered
under different licensing due to its potency (Cue history lesson with Guy Fawkes and subsequent licensing), however some of the newer replacements
(referred to as Nitro) are just as powerful, but not covered under black powder licensing! Work that out. Well, thats how it used to be...
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

All very good, but I don't see the 'getting banned from the site at work' issue ??
Have I missed something?

Yes, specifically an FAC (Firearms Certificate), which lists the calibre and type of firearm on it, which you only get after joining a suitable club
where you can use the weapon (Not all weapons can be used on all ranges).
Kindest Regards,
Richard.
