I sold my gun right before moving to New England (Massachusetts), but now that I'm in Texas, owning a firearm is again realistic. I always thought a solid Sterling Silver (.925 fine) revolver would be cool. Is such a thing attainable? Where might I find one? It shouldn't raise the price obscenely because 100 ounces of .999 fine silver costs about two grand.

Question do you require the firearm to be functional? If yes then you would have to have silver plated arm. If not it will be a one off piece a custom jeweler can complete.
 
There you go: :2razz:

Maybe sterling silver with a sleeve of a different metal in the barrel. Silver plate is junky. I was shopping gun sites for something even close and we're talking like six grand. :shock:

Then you need a gunsmith that deals a lot with custom work with an emphasis in precious metals. I would call it a bargain if you walked out with a custom piece under ten grand even remotely close to what you want. If I were you I would have a nonfunctioning replica piece made by jewelry craftsman, and get a more practical functional piece.

No, sterling silver is extremely soft and i have had a hardened steel gun warp on me. Plus it is exhobidently heavy. The best you can do is get a silver plated pistol. It will be easily in the two grand range.

Check out collectors fire arms of you're ever in Houston. It's a store that puts gun shows to shame. Great deals knowledgeable people.

6 gs for a stainless steel gun. If silver plating is too cheesy looking, look into nickel plating. It's very shiny. It just doesn't have that luster. I think a silver piece will be strictly ornamental.
