I hunt all lawful Small, Medium and Big Game with my Percussion Revolvers. Deer, Bear and Wild Boar, I could hunt turkey but it has to be with Shot Loaded in the Cylinder as that is the Law in New York State.
The Percussion Revolver, is a timeless efficient and outstanding implement for hunting. It has been overlooked, marginalized and maligned. Most of this negativity is due to the way The 20th century Replica Revolvers were made with smaller cylinder chambers and barrel bores, smaller frames etc and Weaker Powders Propellants, all of which were not up to par with the original 19th Century Revolvers and Powders. About the year 2000 the majority of Replica Percussion Revolvers were being produced with larger frames, bigger strait walled down to the start of the Nipple threads, new Powders propellants available, like Swiss; Goex, Express/Old Eyensford, Triple Seven, Black MZ and projectiles like my Universal Bullets which have been proven to successfully take big game animals with Percussion Revolvers have aided and expanded the possibilities of a slowly growing new old way so to speak of ethically harvesting game animals. Check out my Facebook page (Kaido93) which has a lot on Hunting with Percussion Revolvers. While we have to be careful of Facebook, it can be used as a good source to spread the positive uses of ethical hunting with Percussion Revolvers, I urge all to do so.
For those interested in propagating and aiding this type of hunting, I encourage you to join my on line group, the Yahoo International Black Powder Handgun Hunters.
We are a grass roots movement that seeks to inform, educate by demonstrating ethical Hunting Practices and we also actively aggressively work to overturn arbitrary laws and regulations in various venues which wrongly prohibit our ethical way of hunting.
