Any of you guys have one? Or a reasonable facsimile? Really getting an itch for it. I have a .440 Lyman RB mold given me years ago and I cast boolits already so boolits may not a problem. Got some soft lead. Guess I'd need something to seat balls, patches, etc. Don't see a ramrod. Looks like it might be as much fun as BP revolvers (my only BP guns now) and mebbee a bit less complicated cleaning regimen. Looking for any info, loads, tips, etc. Thanks.

edit: can't seem to post pic of it from Cabela's. It's a caplock deringer.

Post some pics when you get it! I love the little Philys

A dear friend of mine that I used to be into CW reenacting with had one. Fun little palm cannon, not super accurate but it would blast through both sides of a full burn barrel at close range.
