BP pistols don't seem high to me if you consider the workmanship. I bought two 1851's from Cabelas for $150 each on sale. A Ruger 10/22 from the local store is on sale for $199 with a blue barrel and plain birch stock. The Pietta 1851's have heavy steel and brass parts with walnut grips.

My wife spends $150 at the grocery store or a hundred bucks for quilt fabric.

You can't get much for a hundred bucks anymore that holds 80% value. That is the thing with guns that I like. They hold some value and some of my older guns are worth 3 times as much as they cost me.

I think BP guns from Cabelas or Dixie Gun Works are a bargain.

Just my 0.02 worth.
