I have a pair of ROAs. They're the guns Mr Colt and Mr Remington would have gladly produced back in their day if they had the technology. I own a stack of Colt and Remington Replicas and a couple of originals, but the ROA is the best shooter in the bunch.

Asking for trouble is the attitude a lot of folks take towards people who legally decide to exercise the idea of Self Defense. I've run into that same mentality myself and just smile and go on my way.:barf:

I've seen too much reality in emergency rooms and hospitals and know better.

But if I were going to carry a Black Powder weapon for self defense, the ROA would be my choice.
