I can't believe I pranked us both into having to do gun research

He was very stupid. Lucky for him he's hard to kill, thats why they called him Immortal Sugimoto.

[Anyway. Enough about his Blackcrush. It's Gun Time.]

It makes sense to me. In some ways a person with a gun that doesn't know how to use it is more dangerous than someone who does. You could have accidentally discharged or loaded the weapon improperly, causing it to jam. Among many other things. It would have endangered you and your family.

I know old man Hijikata used a 1873 model. Yours is probably similar to his if it's modified to resemble an older Winchester. It is the gun that "won the west," after all. The .44-40 rounds it's chambered for were massively popular in the American West because they could also be used in revolvers.

The .45 Long Colt is a decent preference, I suppose. He wanted a classic looking gun with a lot of stopping power behind it. People almost always seem to prioritize that over accuracy. They decide it's too much work to learn how to shoot accurately over long distances and then don't bother making guns to do it. The 6.5-50 rounds in my Type 38 may be half the size of yours, but they'll hit their mark from much farther away.
