Civil War percussion revolvers (and predecessors like the Walker) _are_ a specific category of Black Powder Weapons.

You only switch to Guns/TL5 when you start with metallic cartridge revolvers. The S&W no.1 in .22 dates to 1857, but full-size metallic cartridge revolvers aren't common until after the war.

Black Powder Weapons is the correct skill.
