Question(s) about Bp pistols
Ok, Ive seen em in cabelas and on the internet for sale, and after thinking these units out, I cannot figure out a few things, so I am turning to the forum *ahem cayugad* for some answers
1. Do these things take cartidges that you load yourself, they cant be muzzleoaders, or am I wrong?
2. If they do take cartridges, does the percussion cap go in the cartridge, or what?
3. If they do take a cartridge that you make yourself, how is it your dont need a pistol permit (In NYS) to own these things, seems like they are no different that a normal pistol, other than you have to make the cartridges yourself
4. Please, if anyone has the time, describe (basically) how you use these things. I have been looking at them for sometime, and think I would like to get into them (pending the answers to above questions)
5. Thank you again all for dealing with a noob, and happy holidays!
