I see a real benefit to the ability to shoot TWO competitive CAS stages, with a single handgun without the pesky need to reload.

I do think the holster could be somewhat problematic however.  It would I fear, wind up looking like a really oversized pregnant guppy  ;D

Just shows how ugly something can be if the maker is patient enough.
People like me are the reason people like you have the right to bitch about people like me.

Sir Charles,

I'm not sure this is an actual "Pin Fire" revolver. But rather looks like a center fire revolver with the two firing pins in the hammer face for each row of chambers in the cylinder.

You are probably correct. I just repeated the caption; perpetuating the cacatoro?

I agree; 1. the firing pins are straight, and 2. the cartridges shown do not display any pins transversing the case bases.

Regardless, it is one UGLY sucker.

Coffinmaker; I agree that it's ugly. The 48 rounder seems to be a steampunk prop, but has SLIGHTLY more elegance.

I find the images of the "Tactical" arms pictured elsewhere within the web site to be the ugly ones.
Would I own something like this revolver? Probably not. Not unless I found my way into really cheap.
I still have to admire the mechanical design put into things like this revolver, especially related to the time period.
My best,
