If you're thinking more along the lines of a shooter rather than a replica or collectable as far as black powder revolvers are concerned,I would suggest you concider the Ruger .44 "Old Army".It has adjustable sights,can be had in stainless steel (makes cleaning easier),and can hold slightly more powder than a .44 Rem. or Colt replica.A problem with any of the replica revolvers that I've run into is that the sights are fixed and set for what most folks would consider very long range (50 or 100yds.)with a handgun.This causes your shot to go WAY high at more normal ranges.A ball from a black powder revolver will handle a fox or beaver quite nicely if you can hit it.
