I have been thinking about getting into black powder shooting, I have been eyeing the pietta 1860 army from marstar. What other items do I need to get with the revolver in order to get started, also what can i expect cost wise, is it cheaper or more expensive than shooting regular rounds. Any info or direction would be great.

cheaper, unless all you do now is slow-fire rimfire pistols, black powder is cheaper by far.
Shooting black powder is more involved and sets a more relaxed pace, and you simply will not, can not go through more powder and lead in your percussion pistol as you would in your cartridge revolver, without spending a HELL of alot more time on the range.
