[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 1360104, member: 14195"] It's been 4 years since I've had a problem with my percussion revolvers, and that was while shooting in the remnants of Hurricane Rita, as it moved through NE Texas. And I still got every bullet downrange. I actually see more people having problems with cartridge revolvers than percussion at matches. A lot of that is due to the downloading that a lot of the cartridge shooters do. Don't get me wrong. If there's a bump in the night I'd much rather reach for my 1911 or my S&W snubbie. But I have had a '60 loaded beside my bed for over six months, back when it was the only large caliber gun I had, and when I did take it to the range all six went BOOM. I will never argue my percussions are a better choice for self defense, only saying they have a soul to them that modern guns do not have. To me. Not to most people. SASS is a game, and it can be played different ways. A few years ago I wrote a new rule book for SASS, but they didn't adopt it. Pulp's Rules of Cowboy Action Shooting 1. Don't shoot nobody. 2. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
