I still believe a large segment of the population loaded black, for a long time after smokeless was introduced.

It was cheaper. It worked well. And, shooters, then and now, are a stubborn lot. It oftentimes takes the law being changed to get them to switch.

Regardless, take a look at the guns for sale on a few of the websites, paying attention to the photos of the toplevers on the Tobins for sale.

It aint pretty. One hapless Tobin, has had its toplever bent to the right, to make it appear right. The hole they drilled in it must have been for decor.

Best,
Ted
