I wish I knew. I've seen exactly one in the wild years ago (gun show). I hit every pawn shop within a 50 mile radius regularly and have found zero.

I had a new one for a couple months, but then ran into my 1873. I really, really liked it but I had to have some trade material. Gave it back NIB. Hope to get a chance at another. Never held a CC revolver I liked better.
