Twist rate for a bp pistol?

What is a good twist rate for a 50 caliber pistol with a 10 inch barrel? I was looking at a Treditions Trapper pistol.

RE: Twist rate for a bp pistol?

Twist rate for a pistol should be about 2X as fast as the twist in a rifle of like caliber, assuming you are going to shoot the same kind of bullets in each one. 1/20" would be good in a .50 cal.

Keep yore powder dry!!
