I also had a couple of .32 pocket revolvers they was in nice condition and I had them on display for some time but in the end much as I licked them to me guns are made to be used if you cannot use them even just now and then what is the point so I sold them.

I have been tempted to get in to BP pistols but I would have to go quite a way to the nearest club and then there is the bother of getting a permit if I could have a cartridge revolver that would be another thing.
You can have a cartridge revolver !!

.22lr long barrel such as Taurus and Alpha

.38/357 & .44mag & .45LCOLT etc such as Taurus and Alpha etc

or if you don't want the coat hanger off the grip the UBERTI 1873 COLT BUNTLINE

I have a selection of the above and some say the Buntline is to long but I find the balance is great and accurate as hell out to 100yrds with my .45LC
