They sure are fun shooting, real light recoil and cheap to shoot. I have the 45 caliber Ruger Old Army and a 36 caliber revolver that I bought while back visiting there in New Yorkistan.
To bad you can't get a 44mag or a 44spl cylinder for it, The Ruger Old Army has the option of buying a 45 Colt cylinder. I still haven't bought the 45 Colt cylinder, they are going for close to $200.
Make sure you grease up the ends of the cylinder after you load it so you don't get a chain fire. Let us know how she shoots and enjoy the smell of the blackpowder.

I never had that issue with the Ruger Old Army revolvers, I had a blued one and a stainless one as well. My oldest son ended up with the blued model.
A friend had a couple of the Pietta revolvers and had the cylinder issue with both of them, but they shot just fine and was right on shooting targets and other stuff. I like shooting regular hardball baseballs with the black powder guns as well as any of the centerfire modern revolvers.
The rifles are just as much fun shooting, I have a T/C Pennsylvania Hunter flintlock and a T/C Renegade flintlock back there at my sons place for hunting deer in PA, both 50 caliber.
Out here I have a Traditions caplock rifle that has two barrels, a 50 caliber and a 36 caliber,the 36 caliber is a fun recoiless rifle to shoot. Real cheap shooting as well. I shoot round balls in all of my black powder guns.
I picked up an old style 45 caliber single-shot black powder pistol last summer and then I picked up a 45 caliber flintlock rifle. Both of these guns were bought used at a couple of local pawn shops. The balls for the rifles and the single-shot pistol are ten thousanths of an inch smaller then the caliber size and patched. The revolvers use slightly bigger balls and gets a little shaved off when you press them in the cylinder then get a good coat of grease. I like the smell of the butter bore and it taste just as good as it smells.
I picked up that 36 caliber revolver from KJS (Kurt) gun shop over near Bainbridge, NY, it came with some balls, conicals, a bullet mold, a rifle stock and a couple of other things. The price was good to boot.
It's amazing how accurate these black powder guns are and fun to shoot but a pain in the ass to clean.
Black powder is getting harder & harder to find these days because of the State regulations and insurance cost associated with it. So when I see it I always pick up two or three pounds of it. Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not be able to find any. Been there & done that, NEVER AGAIN!
I need to make up a stand for loading the pistols, it will make it a whole lot easier to load them.
Post some pics of your targets when you take her out shooting, once we get back in to the dry season I'll get out and shoot mine.
