    Well, it started off as a conventional DA cartridge revolver. It still looks like one: has the same construction and dimensions: fires smokeless powder: and while it's still a muzzleloader, and apparently a slow pain in the arse to reload..... under present UK law, I believe it's the closest thing to an operational, conventional. modern, smokeless cartridge pistol you're going to get.

    Living in the US, it would be interesting to me mainly as a novelty. The LBR's, though, strike me as something that fill their own niche in the firearms world. While I'll probably never own one, I'd like to fire one some day. But probably never will get a chance.

    I bet a lot of UK shooters feel the same way, Richard!

    Napoleon, will that be a late 2008 Christmas present for you? Or an early 2009 one?
