I was going home from my weekly visit to the range and had my 1858 Remington 44s with me. I stopped to gas up and when I had returned to my truck I saw this guy sidling up on the passenger side from the rear. I waited until he was even with the door and as he reached for the door handle I picked up one of the revolvers cocked it and stuck it in his face. I think the aspect of that big ugly octagonal barrel he was looking down had a definite impression upon his heart rate. I've seldom seen eyes grow so big nor color drain so fast. He left in a hurry. BP may not be as good as the modern stuff for defense but with practice and skill it is as effective as any other similar weapon. Even if you miss there's a good chance that you'll set them on fire. Most of the time you will only have the chance to get one shot off anyway.
