I have never shot a black powder I want to just have not. For handguns I like everything single action, semiauto, DA revolvers dose not matter. I can't afford most of what I want. I seem to be looking at more older stuff in the last year or so old S&Wand Colts are really getting my attention recently.Like I said can't afford them but love to look. The coolest one I have is a old S&W 38spl I think it is a early M&P model from the early 1900s I am going to send off to S&W and get a histroy letter one of these days. The rest I have are mordern stuff like a Springfeild XD45, S&W model 66 357 among otherthings a glock is on my to get soon list. I have a few others pistols and long guns these three are my fav in the pistol catagory. The old 38 was a hand me down from my greatgrand father to my grandfather then to me it is the first pistol I ever shot
