Where to buy firing period Pistols

I be looking fer a real firing pistol, but don't wanna drop a lot o' coin. Any suggestions?

One of the "Great Truths" of gun buying is that you get what you pay for. Good and cheap do not come together !! The positive side of this is that if you buy quality, you only have to buy it once.

Keep your eye to the boards lad, keep your eyes to the boards!

There are a few merchants on this board that have good deals regularly.

For example, I recently picked up one of the Murdoch pistols Callenish Gunner offered here: Pistols. When you buy from him you get a piece that's been set up, proofed, and is re4ady to fire out of the box. In the case of this deal he's offered on the Murdoch's (check with him to see if he's still got them at this price), you get all that below the MSRP too.

But also look to the trading post, round robin, and classified sections of other reenactment boards. You can find good deals on used gear out there too. I found my first firearms that way and saved a few hundred dollars by doing so.

True enough, but I assumed in this case that the commonly available replicas would qualify as good enough and cheap enough.

Some will call me wrong on both counts! :unsure:
