Today, there is no smokeless powder safe to use in a cap and ball revolver, even revolvers of modern design and materials.

If I recall correctly:
Triple 7, Pyrodex and
most black powder substitutes are "smokeless powder" (with the notable exception of the vitamin-C based propellants, which I don't know exactly how to classify these things) because this group primarily relies upon nitrocellulose as their main ingredient.
Of course, these are all black powder substitutes- but not all are created equal and the shooter
must follow the guidelines of the powder companies recommendations.
My advice is to stick with the holy black if at all possible in your jurisdiction.
However, if substitutes are all that is available, by all means don't allow that to dissuade the thoughts of owning and enjoying a black powder firearm of any kind.
