What's nice about the blackpowder revolvers is the fact you can take the cylinder out and shine a light up and down the short 8" barrel for a great look. You can't hardly do that with a traditional sidelock rifle because of the much smaller bolster screw and a 30" barrel.

As I said, your miliage may vary. If someone wants to experiement with their rifle and push the issue with 777, I would be checking it every day.

I hate shooting the gun on a sunday night, clean it, load it up again that saturday morning for a hunt, fire it, and clean the thing again.
It saves me a cleaning (two actually since we can use 2guns/revolvers here).
