I don't believe I've seen 45-70 at Dicks; however, I have found some reasonable prices on good 45-75 at Cabelas. Not sure if there is one near you, but if there is I'd give them a try.

Thanks for all the feedback! It's great to hear from folks with real experience with the Ruger pistols vs. working from what I can find via Google. I will definitely be taking a serious look at the Rugers.
For getting a new shooter started, any thoughts on revolver vs. semi-auto? I will...
So I've started looking into getting a .22lr pistol for a couple reasons: 1) it sounds like a fun & cheap option for plinking at the range, and 2) it might be a good way to introduce my wife to pistol shooting. I'm not looking for a high-end target pistol ... thinking about a good, basic...
