I don't know what the handgun restrictions are for Iowa except I remember they had to be straight cases, no bottlenecks. But I don't recall if there was a minimum power or caliber. I normally us a .54 flintlock or, occasionally, a .45 fast-twist underhammer. But something like a percussion revolver at 10 yds or so, seems interesting for some reason I don't really understand.
