OK,

I am relatively new to BP shooting. I have learned the hard way about cleaning out the oil before loading, and about hang fires. My question, how do you guys keep things dry in bad weather? I do not understand the condom on the barrel. If I put one on my CVA or my Thompson (both are side locks, no scope), it would cover over the front sight and make it impossible to aim/shoot. In addition, wouldn’t it interfere with the trajectory of the bullet (Powerbelt 348 .54cal)?

What am I missing here?
