I'm a little late getting on the bus, but looks like a fun ride. I had always been into milsurps but After attending a civil war re-inactment at camp wildcat in ky this past summer it sparked my interest. I got raffle tickets for two BP revolvers, but didn't win. Afterwards dug out a sgl shot BP pistol I'd had for 25 years from a box of stuff from storage auction. $40 later I had everything I needed to shoot. I now have a fixer upper 1858 pietta on the way and almost exciting as one of my Sigs. There's just something about antique firearms that can't compare with new.
