Traditions Vortek Pistol
« on: May 09, 2012, 12:10:53 PM »
I think they are cool as heck.  Anyone ever shot one?  $311.00 is the cheapest I'm seeing them.

I've been watching them for a while.  It was in my list before I got my ROA.  I have a kentucky pistol I really like, but these look pretty sweet too.  ;)

I'm not afraid of anything, I do believe they are very dangerous.  The good thing about this pistol is that you are unlikely to be able to tolerate high pressure loads in it.

yeah ok.  you quote him all the time. You don't have to act like you don't know.  Apparently you do not read what you recommend  because his name is on almost every response when you google dangerous muzzleloaders.  Trust me you do not have to play dumb.

I'm sorry, my comments are based on personal experience.  I'll see what I can find out about him.  Thanks for the tip.

yeah ok.  Like I said you told me to google dangerous muzzleloaders.  And now you say you have no clue what is in the googling.  You should stop replying now before you look any sillier than you already do.  The only personal experience you have is reading what others write and continue spewing it over and over.

yeah ok.  So if you speak from personal experience as you umm cough say, how many barrels have you blown up that wasn't from operator error.  Reading someone else's pre paid reports does not count as personal experience.

Not at all, I like looks and accuracy of most of the Spainish made muzzleloaders.
