Cap,
You are just SO negative I can't decide who you shill for. They are NOT weak pistols. They wer the best that could be had, at one time.
YOU decide that ONLY the top strapped pistols are the only ones to shoot.
The Walker, Model of 1847, only the second revolver made, was the most powerful handgun till the advent of the .357 Magnum. FAR less metalurgically advanced than the cheapest replica, today. They shot and they lasted, at least some of them.
They were probably about on a par with rebar, today, as to the steel used. "Twisted iron", f'r instance.
Just for our edification, whom DO you want to make replicas? Smith or Colt or someone else? I see the prices of revolvers in cartridge guns. I have a bunch.
Expensive! We have a little niche of BP pistols and shooters. I don't know if you think that we should pay 700 bucks for one of them made by the majors.
Cheers,
George
