I was at a gun show today looking for a GP100, and bought a TC Grey Hawk for $100 instead.
They're not for everyone, but I like SS guns, and at that price I was also able to order a walnut stock, and a set of Williams fire-sights and still come in under $200.
Now, I have wanted to start shooting BP for awhile now, but only passively so I haven't done a lot of research into what all I need to know.
I know I want to shoot/cast balls as apposed to sabots, but that's about it.

I think the best place to start is probably going to be a book, so I was wondering if you all had any recommendations on that front.
