Where can I find a good one?

They are where you find them.
  Seriously though, if there's a Cabelas near you, they often have them in the Bargain Cave, brand new for about $150 -160.   Watch www.gunbroker.com and other websites.  You may have to wait awhile till they get more eager to sell.   Check gunshops and pawn shops, and make them a low ball offer.   Also gunshows on Sunday afternoon, they may be more inclined to take home one less gun, especially a slow mover like a C&B pistol.

Basically put a WTB (Want To Buy) ad for what you want. I have done that and it works.
