....That I thought came from EMF but it might have been a Richland Arms pistol.

It was a a piece of meat. The barrel on the revolver was actually bent when I received it. There was about a sixteenth inch of light under the barrel if your laid it on a table on it's side. The grip was a sickening blond color.

I straightened the barrel, made grips from mahogany and put it in a drawer. I shot it a coupla times but I never could get past my negative feelings for it.

I spoke to BP about it about a year and a half ago. I do not recall speaking about who manufactured the pistol.
