I can see why you would enjoy shooting old pistols I had a Frommer stopp.32 a 9mm Luger a Pryse Patent .455 and a few BP pistols, which I enjoyed shooting but they were not everyday pistols to shoot . My everyday pistols were my S&W 357mag, S&W .44 mag, CZ 75 9mm and .22 target pistols. As I think I said an antique pistol is great as a once in a while fun pistol but for everyday shooting a repro is a better choice.
