I had once a model 37 but as I had not yet 3 years of SFPC registration as a collector I had to pass it to another colector.May be someday I´ll buy it from him.

Raimundo-
What's this about?
Do you have to have a collector's license for years to own an old .45 revolver?
Are any calibers banned there, as being only for military use?
Are the Beretta 9mm pistols well regarded by Brazilian troops? I know that Taurus now has that factory. Is Taurus as a brand well thought of there?
Is the FN 7.62mm FAL still the army rifle?
We don't hear much about Latin American countries up here.
Even the natural disaster in Chile got minimal coverage. The media is too fascinated with Haiti. (I think I know why, but probably can't post it here.) Most of what I read about concerning Argentina or Chile has to do with their fine wines. But of Brazil, we learn very little, apart from your famous models, like Ana Beatriz Barros, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Adriana Lima, who are famous here, too.
It's good to see you on the board.
