Looking for recommendations for a antique pistol.

I have always wanted a handgun. But given the current situation, getting a rpal before the ban would be virtually impossible. So i decided to cope by getting an unregulated antique. I want to actually shoot the gun at least a few times and, from my understanding, ammo is usually the limiting factor in antique firearms.

So what are some chamberings that have relatively decent ammo availability? So far, muzzloaders seems to be the easiest to go.
