  A:

  Arianna, this is the black powder revolver only, you would have to purchase the other supplies separately. Have a great day!

• Q: One person indicated it shot high so they filed the sight. They must have filed the rear sight, not the front. Lowering a front sight will make it shoot higher.
  Sighting rules: move front sight in direction of ERROR, move rear sight in direction you want round to go.

  A:

  Yes, filing the front sight would make you raise the barrel up to get it in sight, so would make you shoot even higher. Hopefully someone didn't file their front sight.

  A:

  Matthew - NY is so ... convoluted. It may be you could get the pistol .. but then can you get the "fixin's" to actually load and fire it? You can call Buds' customer service, or you can consult a local FFL dealer, who should have all the info you will need. Good luck!

• Q: Does this weapon fire?

  A:

  Good accessories for first-time BP revolver buyers:
  1) Buy some Wonder Wads, usually found $10 per 100. They are 0.45 diameter lubricated wads to seal the chamber over powder and under ball. Also to help minimize fouling
  2) Buy FFFG Triple Se7en, Pyrodex P, or Goex black powder, usually around $28 per 1lb. container. 777 doesn't have much an odor at all and cleans super easy with water and then oiled.
  3) Buy #11 percussion caps ~$5
  4) Buy a black powder flask that measures out ~25grains of powder (volume not weight), got mine for $38
  5) Buy a powder flask funnel to go with the flask, it will save a lot of time and headaches, $15
  6) Buy some pre-swagged lead balls for starters, I got a bag of Hornady .451caliber balls for $15
  7) Buy a nice brass cleaning brush and a cloth holder for .44 pistols, hopefully you have a cleaning rod already, was around $5 for both items
  8) Buy some sort of #11 capper for percussion caps if you plan on doing this for very long...
  9) Be patient! And enjoy ;)
