Really great presentation
I personally shoot Cap Guns as my Main Match guns. My guns have been "assisted" for reliability. It is a necessity to insure reliability. I shoot "Gunfighter" with a gun in each hand. I cannot afford problems. My Cap Guns and those I have built for "Others" are every bit as reliable as any cartridge gun of the Era. No doubt.
I also like the point made, in the age we portray, or actually in any fighting situation, the "Reload" simply didn't happen. Fighting men carried multiple pistols. When one ran dry, they pulled another. Either discarding the empty or holstering on the way to another gun. An attempt at reload would undoubtedly get you killed.
Being a "Gun Knut" I have no doubt I would have scrounged up the coin to go to a Conversion for metallic cartridges. Maybe. dunno. Might not. I like Cap Guns. Properly set up, properly loaded, perfectly OK.
Nope. Wild Bill had Cartridge converted '51 Navy's at his end. As with other fighting men, his version of a reload was another gun. Cap Guns ROCK!! SNUBBIE Cap Guns REALLY Rock.
