Maybe that pistol ought to be shelved under "Best to be Forgotten Weapons"...See Ian of Forgotten Weapons -

Almost there with you, but in all honesty, I think the latter Jimenez Arms JA series of zink (pot metal) pistols would have to be rated the worse... No redeeming qualities except for price...Jennings J-22. Have had 2, neither was reliable at all.
wtf
Well could be worse...

I like shooting and I'll shoot any gun that I get a chance to.
That said I really don't care for the various models of modern "in-line" muzzle loaders.

Bet the crowd goes wild when you pull that one out of your pants. The Ruger I meanDon't laff, here in yUK there was, for a short while, a Ruger Super Redhawk that actually DID have a barrel that long, until an element of common sense prevailed, and they got shortened to a 'mere' 12", like mine here..........

You might laff, but hereabouts you are looking at a revolver valued in excess of $2800................

I find them to be just a way to skirt the law and rules regarding Muzzle loaders and Muzzle loading hunting.Those inline came out after I stopped playing with the BP guns. Have never been able to try one so curious why you don't like them? Just idle curiosity since I know you are big on smoke poles.

Many use a 209 primer* , enclosed ignition* , BP substitute powders or pellets , modern copper jacketed bullets* etc .. they are "muzzle loaders" in name only.
I also feel that they give one a false sense of improvement over the traditional muzzle loader.
None of the supposed advantages of new powders , ignition , projectiles etc ... do anything "better" than real black powder and round ball.
Not that I think if you want to hunt or shoot a muzzle loader that you gotta be all "Daniel Boone" and use a custom flintlock and dress in buckskins...
Many folks hunt and shoot with T/C Hawken a Lyman Great Plains etc ... all while wearing "normal" clothes.
No issue there ... the guns ( T/C's and the like ) are in the spirit of the muzzle loaders for which the muzzle loading / primitive season were originally intended for.
Note to all :
I do not say the above to be insulting to those who like and use a modern in line rifle.
The above is just my thoughts based on my experience ...
* Yes I do know that not all inline rifles are this way.

That would be the top of my list....I don't know if this really counts, but an Army issued M16A1... the rear take-down pin was so loose that it'd randomly slide out in its own (I didn't know sheite about the "finer points" of AR construction @ that time), and one time I went to fire it one handed from a Jeep (M151A2) while riding in the passenger seat and the bubblegumming thing made like a "break-action shotgun" on me....point annnnnd flop. NOT cool!
We laughed out arses off when we got back, but DAM talk about the pucker-factor going to 11!!
2nd date. For the third, you might add cat o' nine tails ....I guess ... if your idea of dating also involves chloroform , duct tape , zip ties and rope...
