I just purchased a Cimarron Model P, and decided to try some black powder .45 Colt cartridges (Black Dawge 235 grain RNFP). Wow, what a difference compared to Sportsman's Guide's cheapest smokeless cowboy loads, it really kicks! My question concerns cleaning. How often must I take the action apart for cleaning? On my cap and ball replicas, I completely disassemble the guns every time, and they really need it. How about cartridge revolvers shooting black powder? Do I really have to take it down to removing the hand and the trigger spring every time? I fear I know what the answer to this question is going to be.
Second question ... I have an original Colt Bisley in .32-20 made in 1905. It is in great shape. Is is safe to shoot modern smokeless .32-20 in this gun?
