Made by Italian manufacturer Chiappa Firearms. The barrel aligns with the bottom of the cylinder, which should cut down on recoil. And it's in my favorite cartridge, .357 magnum. If interested, find out more here.
Or ...
If anyone really wants to get me something for Christmas, there's always one of these ...
.357 is my favorite caliber too. I've got two revolvers and a rifle in that caliber. This looks pretty damn cool.
ReplyDeleteI have a special love for revolvers and lever-actions. Not sure why. Maybe it's a calling to the Old West or something. I even generally prefer single-action revolvers to double-action. They feel better in my hand, fit better, for some reason.
ReplyDeleteNot that I haven't enjoyed a few semi-autos in my day. Have yet to pick up and fire a Beretta I didn't like. But I have a loathing for Glocks.
Pistol looks neat, but I am more partial to the "rifle".
ReplyDeleteNo surprise, I prefer historical weapons. Guns much past the Wild West don't interest me too much. You know, once the automatics arrived.
Still - there's something to be said for a 1911. ;)
