Actually I had a BP revolver years ago. But it was a cheapo Pietta. It shot OK but I really did not understand that you REALLY have to clean it EVERY time you shoot it. It started getting nasty, cylinder didn't want to rotate right any more, and I just did not have the patience to load it every single time instead of just dropping cartridges into it. Now I am older, understand you really need to disassemble the thing, and clean it really, really thorough. I'm more patient so loading it up isn't as big a thing now. The first thing I did with the gun when I got it was really clean all the grease they used to ship it in. Cleaned and reoiled it. Put in six caps and cleared the nipples out by firing them. Was almost like I was six years old and firing my Roy Rodgers cap pistol. Now I am trying to clean a day to go to the range and see how it works. Too many doctor appointments between me and my 80 year old Mom. (I take her to all her appointments, like I'm driving Miss Daisy) And next week I am going up to Atlanta for a couple days to help work on my nephew's car and going to see the Packers game with my little brother. There's never enough time to get everything done!
