WWAWD black powder? Seems like a fun hobby and I'd like to get a flintlock rifle kit, but I'm not sure which pattern. Kentucky, Hawken, Buffalo? Any thoughts?

I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. Specifically I find flintlock very interesting and want one over the (vastly superior) percussion cap. No idea what the best route to take is though.
I’ve shot blackpowder a few times and you really have to focus on follow through for accuracy because of the lock time.

Extremely fat grips.

Classic! I'm looking to own my first pistol in CA and considering a Beretta. I recently learned firearms are no more difficult to acquire here than other states, but there is a restricted list of approved models, so no H&K USP for me unfortunately.

I'm gonna make up a story... in UK you cant own guns.
But as a former clandestine chemist I certainly wouldn't make a mixture of pure capsaicin, nonivamide, CN/CS in isopropyl alcohol, with an azeotrope of dionised water/sugar 25 w/v & pressurised via threaded valve in a can with nitrogen @ 85psi, that would be illegal, although a 30ml can could probably do 8 blokes... almost better than a gun.
I'm just making stuff up. It's a story.

They’re really cool guns, but it’s kinda antiquated now compared to other pistol designs. I wouldn’t recommend it as a first gun but if you’re just looking to add it to your collection by all means God bless

What about those new ones with the slimmer grip and optics?

If you want a DA/SA, you would be better off with a Sig P226/P229. I think the safety/decocker system on the Beretta is kind of weird.

I’m sure they’re good guns but a Glock or some other striker fired pistol will probably be easier to learn how to maintain and shoot. I’m not really into pistols that deep so someone else may have a more educated opinion on them.

I disliked shooting the 92FS for no reason other than racking the slide was uncomfortable due to the cuts in it.

Finally got my NYC carry license after 1 year and 9 months of paperwork and waiting. NY sucks balls. Suffolk County resident.
Funny how the tables have turned. Back before SCOTUS struck down NYC’s “may-issue” carry license laws in 2021, only celebrities and the rich were able to get this. Nana had the exact same NYS but non-NYC resident license (“Special Carry”), but under NYS law he is no longer eligible because of his criminal record.
Won’t be seein this no more!
