I became interested in Italian reproduction Civil War-era black powder "Percussion/Cap & Ball" revolvers back in the late 1970's. You can buy them in most US states mail-order because there are no federal restrictions on them. They are considered antique firearms so no background check is needed. They are a lot of fun but totally impractical for defense by today's standards. It takes several minutes to load them and they are not reliable. Misfires & jams (due to pieces of spent caps falling into the action) are an issue. When they came out in the mid 1840s they were state-of-the-art and gave one the ability to get off multiple shots very quickly at a time when almost all pistols and rifles were single shot muzzle loaders. These are my 3 guns and they were the most coveted percussion revolver models 155 years ago:

My first job was at a car wash at age 16 in 1973. It paid about $1.60/hour which was minimum wage in Maryland at the time. The job wasn't worth more than that as a starting wage. It was a very low skilled job for young people to make a couple of bucks after school & on weekends. Period. The car wash could never have sustained paying employees enough money to live on. it would have gone out of business.

It is a submachinegun slaughter fest now! I used to run around trying to draw fire to find people. Needless to say that doesn't work anymore. You go down very quickly. -

I saw them in 1974 in Baltimore, Maryland. They opened for Ten Years After. Incredible concert.
