I had this idea to buy a Traditions Buckhunter for a backup muzzleloader pistol. Well, I tried it this year, but where i muzzleload hunt, its alot of hiking. So this pistol in a shoulder holster along with suspenders, and backpack kills my back and shoulders after very long hiking. So I give up. I either use the rifle or the pistol, but not both.

So I thought about trading it for a 6 shooter. I like the Uberti Walker, but hate the sights on it. And there is several models out there in the 1840 to 1855 era. I know I want a .44 at least. Thinking of the navy version. What do you guys recommend? I was thinking a Ruger old army also would be a nice gun to play with.
