I'd looked at them when I was at AIM surplus a cpl years ago. A guy was picking one up. I thought hmmm? A antique military revolver for $100 bucks? I asked the guy about them and he talked like they were kind of a novelty. Rough trigger, not accurate etc. . I picked up my ammo and left.
Later I thought, they're not really that bad looking in a funny way and very good cond w/holster & accessories.
Last summer in my LGS they had several lined up in the case $129. So I bought one & two boxes of shells. I do like it ,the history, all the stuff that came with it & good cond. I might even get around to shooting it one day, but now it's more of a safe queen

I enjoyed seeing the YouTube video of shooting one suppressed. The only revolver I'm aware of that can do that.
It might be a similar case like when the sks's started coming in and $79 on sale.
