That little BP shorty has a MAXIMUM 300FPS MV. with a round ball and a good patch. With a conical bullet it does little better clocking in at less than 400FPS. Penetration is somewhere in the 4 inch range. It is the same model used on "Honest Abe" by J.W.B.. It in fact didn't kill him. The doctor probing for the ball with his unwashed pinky finger did.. ---Ray
That makes the follow up shot a bit of a process.
ReplyDeleteAnd the combination of a percussion pistol with a Kydex holster is jarring.
The holster non-sequitur was what drew me.

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure the .45 ball helped though. :)
