Get a Olympic exception and a Glock 44 or similar in 22LR. Cheaper and more sensible. Leave antiques for collecting. Hope you have RPAL?

In antiques, best will be MAS 1873. Can be modified (cylinder shaving) to fire 45 Auto Rim AFAIK. It is one of the most sturdy frame in ancient firearms ever.

A second option is old webley. Can fire 455 webley. Not cheap but still okay.

I think it’s impossible to get it where I live in Nova Scotia. But i will dig more. I shared a post before about exemption and it’s way more complicated in here
