Something to consider if the local gun store is closed.

Ha :D
Black powder always smells good to me, but I'd like to see one with a red dot sight.

When I shoot my muzzleloader, if I miss the target, I could escape in the smokescreen!

Smoke screen ;D my 44 shoots large smoke rings. Slow to load...yes. It will put a hole in your target for sure.
While not mentioned, they do have cartridge conversions for several makes and models using cowboy rounds.

First thing I thought of when reading the headline. Either have to hit them with first shot of be ready to disappear in the smokescreen.

Why use 911 when it's faster to use 1911 or 9mm?

Worked pretty good for Josie Wales.  Of course he carried several, not just one.

I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

Good video! 

Just fyi: JW Rawles -- owner of survivalblog.com started an antique gun business recently.

Some of his offerings have been rechambered to modern cartridges...  And all are direct-ship/no FFL.

All of this is completely out of my wheelhouse, so look forward to others thoughts on whether such is good/bad/ugly/etc.
