What does 3,000 pounds switch over into US$ something like 5 grand?

Did you see the part about it being banned for import into the us because it hasless than a 3" barrel, I didn't realize a barrel had to be atleast 3"? Seems like I see revolvers shorter than that all the time. Like 1 7/8" or 2" barrels.

Wow that is small & expensive.

I guess that lever below the trigger guard is to operate the trigger?( since no one has small enough fingers to fit inside the trigger guard?

Whats with the its banned from import into the US- as it has to have a sporting porposes in the story?
"The gun is banned from being imported into the US - because it's barrel is less than three inches, meaning it is deemed too small to qualify for sporting purposes."

This one is not as small(or the smallest anymore i guesss)- but much cheaper & made in the Us. They have them in 22. lr & mag models also- ammo that is much easyier to find.

Only thing I can figure, and this is just a deduction here... is that you cannot IMPORT a gun with a less than 3" barrel to the US. All the modern revolvers I can think of (mainly the NAAs and S&Ws) that have super short barrels are made in the USA. Although... Taurus... are all of their made in Brazil? Yeah I suppose that doesn't make much sense to me after all....

The article is of British origin... reporter might have gotten a bum steer on her information....
