The Court held the sentence was appropriate because the pistol had been substantially converted into a working revolver capable of firing .22 ammunition, was loaded and had been displayed to a member of the public and left accessible; established authorities support a high starting point and the trial judge had already allowed a generous discount, therefore the 7-year sentence was neither manifestly excessive nor wrong in principle.
