Sorry TH but defending the castle with a matchlock is not part of the overall plan.

As you know, things are different over here, which is why many "survivalists" from GB can not abide the "American" forums. Self defense provisions are build into our legal system and in the State where I live we also have a "stand your ground" law built into our "Castle Doctrine". We are allowed to defend both life and property with deadly force.

One of the reasons why you folks consider the "horde" an overwhelming mass and we refer to it as a "target rich environment".

BTW, I do have a Hawkin, 4 last count in several calibers from .30 to 54. Have a half dozen Kentucky style, ranging from 1750-1830 in flint and percussion. There's a couple of big bore muskets in the mix scattered about.

I love my black powder pistols too! I have an eccentric mix of those. They are a treat to shoot.

I do not discriminate against anything that goes BOOM! I just do not plan the defense strategy around all of them. I am too old to be caught at a disadvantage in the middle of a reload.
