Well if you like Ruger's SP101 and GP100, you're gonna like the Old Army too. In my opinion it's probably the best black powder revolver ever made.

Agreed.
Ditto above.
The 5.5" barrel Old Army with Sim. Ivory grips in Stainless looks awful nice, to boot.

I have the Old Army in both stainless & blue. Both are 7 1/2". If I were to get another, I'd go 5.5". But, that's not what you asked. You wanted advice about using a BP revolver. Gatofeo (Spanish for uglycat) has an excellent thread. Gatofeo thread. You'll learn everything you need to know about using a BP revolver at that link.
