I was being rather facetious. This gun, the 1872 Navy Open Top, has all the power of a feather duster, and the range of a flu-flu arrow. Accuracy, with its primitive sights, will be nil. And the handloads I've cooked up will completely penetrate heavy target paper. Its totally useless for shooting folks or critters.
Its redeeming virtue, to me, is that it is, in my opinion, a rather handsome revolver, case hardened colors and brass mounted, coupled with blued other parts. And it's lack of a top strap give it sort of a rakish, old timey look. Plus its sort of tiny in a way, a little like an Old Pocket Model Colt.
In short, its a toy. A noisy toy at that.
