The recommendation of a Webley & Scott Model 700 as a starting point is a good one, based on my personal experience.

Two well regarded UK dealers are Francis Lovel and Graham McKinlay. Two members of this forum, Toby Barclay and Diggory Hadoke, are in the business of helping US buyers find guns in the UK market.

As far as US dealers, some are better than others but in general approach the process like you are buying a high mileage used car from a corner lot dealer. Negotiate hard on the price, make sure you have a three-day inspection/return period, and have a good gunsmith available to inspect the gun closely.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
