My first (and only so far) BP pistol was the brass framed Pietta 1858 New Army.

I also bought it because it was pretty. One thing I like so much about the BP pistols is their classic look.

I've only put about 18 rounds through it so far because I live in the land of ice and snow, but it was a blast.

I figure I can shoot it a lot as long as I use pretty light loads.

My next BP pistol will be a steel framed 1860.
