Lots of good revolvers aren't outrageous when viewed in the context of what people commonly spend on bottomfeeders . It's just frustrating for those of us who remember the floods of dirt cheap revolvers during the Transition Era .
Yeah, I am hoping we start transitioning to plasma weapons, in a 40 watt range, sometime soon. That way I can vacuum up all of the cheap projectile guns that get traded in.
I started owning guns so late I missed all of the golden, silver and bronze ages of everything.
Then again, I don't have the regrets of all the Mausers and Enfields and whatever else that were being sold by the bushel for $40 or whatever they were all selling for in the 50s and 60s and 70s and not being "smart enough" to have bought them :-)
