Since it's a pocket gun I figured about 25 ft. was a good regulation goal. I've not put it on paper either. Not sure I even scared the 20 yd. gong. But it was made more for just outside of knife range for it's day. The .31 ball is lots more formidable than the .22! I plan on testing that some.
It is functioning well, the caps stayed on the nipples but were split for easy removal. No jams and only one fail to shoot after I noted I did not fully seat the cap on a nipple, robbing it of proper ignition. The second cap lit off fine. That was in three or four cylinder loads. This C&B would relate to a more modern .32 pocket revolver.
That .36 Police relates to the modern .38 Special 3-4" Police gun of mid-last century. We both know a well armed fellow would need AT LEAST a brace of them. A BIG knife is not a bad addition either.
