Well, thanks for all the advice again! I ordered the '58 steel frame Remington from Cabelas, and it has arrived!! Looks great - fit-n-finish look good, action appears to work smoothly from what I can tell.
Now for a few more dumb newbie questions :
The manual that came with the pistol suggest, after an initial cleaning, to fire a cap thorugh each cylinder to clean out oil, etc. - would anyone agree/disagree?
With respect to powders, the CLOSEST outlet to me offers GOEX Pinnacle, Shockey's Gold, Pyrodex, and 777 powders - preferences? I have not found anywhere less than an hour's drive that offers plain old fffg black powder....
Any definitive opinions on wonder wads?
Thanks againin advance for any input...sorry to be a pain, but I like to do my research before I try something new.
