A T/C is too modern, that's why. The boot pistol was the Contender of the 19th century and better all around, IMHO. There's magic in old style guns you don't see in the modern ones.

I do still have a few more "modern" pieces that I treasure but they are mostly safe queens. Most get exercised at the range from time to time but no longer in the field; been that way for many years. I sold off most of what I had to finance flintlocks....and I'm talking things I loved, too.
