Muzzleloaders, Where can I find.......

[pure performance]

A good shop in the S.F. east bay area that has a good selection of muzzleloaders, both long guns and hand guns. Keep in mind this will be my first blackpowder gun so a shop with a good amount of knowledge and patience would be a plus. All the shops that are near me will carry the supplies but never have a good variety of guns. Any recommendations?

Around here we pretty much rely on the Internet. For knowledge you might consider the monthly blackpowder get-together at Chabot (Google chabot gun club).

Assuming you're talking about traditional MLs vs. modern inlines. If so, check out Castello Gun Shop on Lincoln Avenue in San Jose. Check out the reviews on Yelp for more 411, but he has a better than average selection of BP / Muzzleloader stuff.
