Most recommend is 3F powder, either true black powder or the "synthetic" or black powder substitute equivalent and between 25 and 30 grains should due nicely.
A revolver is a type of pistol that the cartridges are in a chamber in a cylinder. The cylinder revolves in the gun (hence 'revolver') bringing each successive chamber in alignment with the barrel. A revolver could have five chambers, it could have ten. The most common would be five or six.
He used a revolver with bullets in it NOT DAISIES!
== == The part that holds the bullets in a revolver type pistol is called the "cylinder". In an automatic type pistol it's called a "magazine".
Not enough information provided for clear answer. Description of type of "pistol" - semi-auto or revolver, markings on firearm, type of action, etc. needed.
It would depend on how the cartridge was loaded, ( powder type and amount and bullet weight's) A modern black powder load would be to about 100 yards. After that the velocity and energy drops dramatically. Smokeless powder loads would extend a bit farther.
Buy some books that deal with the type you have.
first you will have to furnish type of handgun. revolver, pistol ??? then the MODEL....
no real value. the top break pistol in the early 1900 were made in basement, garages and small factories. the quality was not very good and made under many, many different names..............modern ammunition should not be used as they are black powder type. depending on condition $50 to $100
I would need to know the caliber and type (revolver, single shot. flintlock, percussion) to answer the question exactly, but the best place to start is with as many grains of powder as the caliber divided by half for a hand gun or revolver as a MAXIMUM LOAD. So a .45 cal. would be about 20-23 grain. I usually start out around 12-15 grains and work from there.
Originally, pistols (and muskets) used black powder. Modern firearms use smokeless powder, based on nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose. There are several different powders that can be used, based on caliber and bullet weight. Among the most common pistol powders have been Bullseye and Unique.
No. While Dan Wesson DID make a .44 Magnum revolver, it was not known as a Desert Eagle. IMI made a .44 magnum Desert Eagle Auto pistol, but not a revolver.
State law has nothing to do with it. It is a FEDERAL offense for a convicted felon to own or possess a firearm or ammunition of ANY type, ANY where, for ANY reason. (US Code, Title 18). It is not a FEDERAL offense to own BLACK POWDER pistols or rifles, if you are a felon. They are NOT considered FIREARMS as long as they represent such guns manufactured prior to early 1900, are muzzle loaders, cap and ball, flintlock, known as percussion guns. A replica such as a Colt 1851/1858 .44 cal revolver, cap and ball, black powder gun is NOT considered a FIREARM. None of the black powder guns, either pistol or rifle are considered FIREARMS. per code of federal regulations , and the ATF. Even a Federal Felon, can own a black powder gun, in most States. Even though the respective State is in error if they deny a Felon the right to own and shoot a BLACK POWDER gun, most felons challenging the States decision to deny, will find a long and expensive court battle. There are less than a half dozen States that do not recognize the Federal Law view that black powder guns are NOT FIREARMS. So if you are a felon, don't be in one of those States if you intend on owning a black powder rifle or pistol. Mail order,buy at a gun show or private individual, and have some fun shooting black powder.
