Buying a Handgun is Hard

Well, the last two pistols I bought were the CZ Shadow 2, (before CZ went all commie in Canada 
), and the Sig P-322, (hoping I don’t shoot myself in the leg.) Both of them are sweet pistols, I don’t care what y’all say.

I still don't care about that. I"m still getting my Colt SAA Peacemaker.
Dude, buy an older one. Plenty of barely used to NIB offerings out there that go back a few decades.

I just swung by my closest FFL and picked up my new (old) Python today. It is a factory bright stainless offering, and comes with a free ticket to 'suck it' if anyone doesn't like older American wheel guns...
I dropped mine on a concrete floor last Thursday and bent the rod that holds the cylinder. I don't know the exact name for that part and am finding it difficult to source a replacement. I have all three of them - .22 short, .22 long rifle, and .22 magnum. When I carry them, I use the .22 long rifle and the belt buckle. Of course, most folks think it is just a "cute" belt buckle.
My plan is to call the factory for some assistance - when I get the time.
Apparently I am supposed to take some photos of my recent purchase US property marked flintlock and percussion pistols. I got them out of the vault last night and hope to take some photos today . . . but I have an entry door sitting on my Shop workbench with a new refinish job. If the "varnish" is dry, I can deliver and install it this morning. It is the exterior front door for a new lawyer's office. They thought it was going to be done Monday, so it is kind of a priority.
While one cannot argue build quality superiority of the Korth, they do nothing for me aesthetically. I don't say that lightly, because I've looked into purchased a Korth several times just for the build quality.
It's like women: I'd much rather have a Southern Belle with an extra five pounds and a twang, that can hunt, fish and cook... Over a European crossfit model who only eats gourmet options from Whole Foods, and leaves the room in disgust when I fart.
I’ve been fascinated by those new Chiapas Rhinos.
The low-axis barrel is pretty cool and thee are a lot of outside the box features.

Probably be my next handgun. If only because I like advanced design and Thinking.
