Get on the blower to Mamma Italia with your credit card in hand. Been done by Pietta and Uberti gunworks. 9 (!) rounds 44, plus 20 Ga barrel. Blackpowder muzzle loader, but then (as with a lot of these modern reproductions) there's a "conversion" cylinder to use cartridges. Scary! Yours for a low, low EU975. The weight, you say? Somewhere in the "2k" range, that's about 4.5 - 5 lbs. Too heavy? Not for a real man. Get a Titanium LadySmith .38.
