Never a black powder gun but I've dropped one or two revolvers when practicing drawing, which I don't especially like to admit. However, the worst case was when the Browning Hi-Power fell off a shelf about eight feet off the ground and landed on the hammer on a concrete floor. But nothing broke or bent.
That's what I call the jelly side down theory of dropped objects.
