edit I did a 58 Zouave from thier kit back in the 70's, that was the best shooting ML I ever had. I wouldn't pay extra for the pistol but I would bet it was good quality when made.

They were imported for a short time in the mid to late 60's time frame. When the gun control act of 1968 went into effect, their importation was curtailed. The only model that I'm familiar with was the .38 snubbie. If themthey made one with a longer barrel and adjustable sights, it might have had enough points for importation?

EDIT #1, I guess your correct. I went on the net and found this photo of a Miroku revolver with a 4" barrel. Don't recall in ever seeing one before.

Thanks, this was a 4" version much like the model 10 Smith, tapered barrel.
