a Model 17 in pristine condition

Redhawk....back in 96. Still have it, but my collection has dwindled and only my most prized guns remain. The good news is I just landed a sweetheart of a job and can start rebuilding my collection. I spend significant time almost daily drooling and fantasizing what my first purchase will be.
I have been looking at pistols that can mount those small reflex sights like the Glock mos or S & W core. Just thought it might be good for rolling cans and general plinking with more oomph than a .22. But they are spendy when you add the cost of the optic.
Last year's birthday present from me to me finally arrived, 'bout a year after I ordered it. P220 Legion in 10mm. Hefty piece, I was a bit disappointed by the "Legion grey" as that turned out to be a greenish hue. Nice gun though and looking forward to some rangetime.
Just picked up a Freedom Arms 454 Casull with a 45 colt cylinder .
a week ago I got a 6.5" .41 new model blackhawk from lgs--it looks very good and was not over the top stupid high
now waiting for the weather to clear-- which will be a while.
My last purchase was a Taurus stainless 856... a 6 shot snub on the same frame as the 5 shot model 85.
I've only put a little over 100 rounds through it so far, but it has been excellent. The double action could be a little smoother, but I expect it to smooth out some with more use. Handy little revolver....

Most folks see a firearm as rifle, pistol, shotgun, ect.... I see a canvas.

I just bought the following:
ARMI SANPAOLO - BRESCIA
1858 New Model Army .44
The gun came with a mold ir balls and bullets, a powder flask and some wads and balls. The gun was made in 1980 and purchased pm 1981 by a fellow in Nova Scotia. The gun has been fired 18 times. From the pics he sent me the gun appears brand new,

This will be my first BP firearm. Bought it just in case Trudeau decides to prohib all our center fired handguns.
Anyone here know anything about the manufacturer: ARMI SANPAOLO - BRESCIA?

Took in this S&W m25-3 NIB on deal not to long ago against a 29-3 NIB. I won’t shoot it because it’s NIB and I have 5 other m25s. To pretty for me, goes at head of trade pile. I sold two m14s last week. I kept the oldest one because it’s the one I shot. The NIB 14 was first to go.Attachment 277992
