Scroll down to the list of "obsolete Pistol Ammo"

The price really isn't that bad,,,
I have shot the ammo and it's decent.

Here is a link to the Wikipedia page.

Fiocchi does make ammo for it,,,
But according to a post from another forum,,,
They only make one run of it every several years or so.

I have 50 rounds of the Fiocchi that I'm saving for the display box,,,
I bought 100 rounds of the reloaded stuff to shoot,,,
Once a year I take her (Margeaux) dancing,,,
She's a surprisingly accurate revolver.

I have seen two at gunshows in recent years,,,
One seller was asking $225.00 and another wanted $325.00.

I really don't know if those prices were reasonable but I'm sorry I didn't buy one,,,
What a nice pair they would have made in a nice wooden dueling pistol box.

Hope this helps.

Aarond

P.S. Just ordered 200 rounds of Fiocchi from Midway,,,
Thanks for the link MrBorland.
