In Canada it's classified as a restricted firearm, meaning lots of restrictions on what you can and can't do. My license has conditions attached so I can transport (in locked case) to my gun club, repair shop, gun show, cop shop and that's about it. No out of Province, but I could transport to the US border if I was cleared to cross for a trade show or match. Not sure what rules you guys have for FFL?

Guys, I appreciate all the comments and advice on makes, models etc over the last few months. I originally looked at Pietta but lots of you steered me to Cimarron-Uberti. I'm pretty happy with my choice and can't wait til tonight to blow some holes in the backboard! Thanks!!

The cylinder on the 1860 Army and Navy revolvers was engraved with a naval battle scene symbolizing a battle in the Gulf of Mexico I think I read. Since the 1871 Richards revolvers were built in the Colt factory from excess percussion gun parts in inventory, they had the same engraving.
