Might be old news to some but I just ran across this.

I remember that, or one similar. Great improvement, makes all other revolvers obsolete.

Yeah, right!

Wow, shark jumping version eleventy three!
Maybe it comes with extra cylinders for the ability to quickly reload.
Will it come in 9mm to go along with that 9mm mag fed lever gun somebody posted about?
Just think some person or company thinks this was a good enough idea to design and possibly
tool up production for it. I'm thinking drugs may have been abused.

I'll pass thanks.........

Cut the grip in half it would be a great Concealed Carry piece. Problem with Snubbies is they don't have enough barrel to build up any steam. Not sure what the capacity is but a Bond Arms 4 1/2" 2 shot would be a better go to. When I get mine I'll be working it up out to 25yds. I'm hoping some V3N37 might get things up to speed.

For the absolute Bolshevik States a lever gun and revolver are as good as it gets. While I see that lever gun as an abomination it would be an effective option if semi is banned.

I like the revolver, hate the 9mm lever gun.

Some designers are just trying too hard.

As Tim Allen once said, "If it ain't broke, you can fix it til it is." Looks like another solution in search of a problem.

Not really. More barrel almost always equates to better performance. If they trimmed that down to practical carry size it would be way better than a snubby and as easily carried.

A revolve-o-matic. It slices, dices, & makes julienne fries.

Talk about ugly!!!!!!!

Is there some unknown contest happening to see who can design the ugliest gun?
Paul B,

As a southpaw most double action revolvers (except possibly the CA Southpaw), unless they are top breaks are problematic.

One of those problems is they almost completely lack of modern designs. If the price isn’t outrageous I’d buy one. Hey, at least it isn’t another wimpy 9mm.

Seems to be the plan for some reason.... when I saw the picture it looks a lot light the handgun Harrison Ford used in Blade Runner.... of course that gun used exploding bullets....

They want their guns to look modern. Not everyone was hanging out with Wyatt Earp back in the day!

That's just what we all need, a more complex gun with minimal capacity and seemingly too big to carry concealed. No thanks.

 

[kcsteve]

I’m guessing 6 shots before the cylinder is fouled up and won’t turn.

I'm looking to buy a small sledge hammer for my shop, this looks like the perfect candidate.

 

[Jimbo357mag]

I think the covers over the B-C gap is a good idea for other revolvers. I have shot a few that really spit lead out of there.

 

[kmoore]

My first thoughts are it will be seen in a sic fi movie soon. And no thanks putting my hand in front of a revolvers cylinder while its fired. I will let others shoot it. Although the article says or implies the cylinder gap is closed when its shot. Ok, how many rounds fired before it opens up or is not completely timed and the cylinder is off from prefect center.

Paul B,

Yes there is. Actually it is an Olympic event. This is the metal count;

Gold- Zenk
Silver- Hi-point
Bronze- Glock

 

[shoot to thrill]

I dont care what a gun looks like long as it works and does not fall apart with heavy usage

 

[the_leper_colony]

There is an Israeli Olympic athlete who also designs firearms:

I'm sure some of them, as produced by various manufacturers, might compete in an ugly firearms competition, and maybe win a medal! But I got to look at the internal mechanism on one of his striker-fired designs (Republic Arms Patriot .45), and it's really neat! Super simple, with true double action 'second strike' capability. And the one I shot had (IMHO) a pretty decent trigger!
