In my opinion they are the best BP revolvers! Have owned several BP revolvers but the only one I kept is a Ruger Old Army stainless.

Bp’s are fun. Make sure you put grease on the end of the cylinder. Very important, you do not want a chain fire.

Still have the SS ROA I bought years ago.

Thanks guys. I’m looking at a brass framed one, and one with open sights.
Factory? Are first years, 1972(?) more valuable?

Everything I've heard has been good. I know someone who has owned one for many years and loves it.
