And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I post this not for the round, which is absurd, but for the cool barrel, which has somehow been made to look like an old style cannon.
I shot a friend's T/C Contender pistol in .45-70. VERY unpleasant. I can't even imagine firing a handgun in .577 Nitro. Even if you weren't limp wristed before, your wrists would certainly be limp afterwards...........
I have a 454 Casull that I've grown to tolerate, but not the .458 Win Mag. Still working on a revolver in .50 AE. I wouldn't even try to shoot a .577 even if it were chambered in a heavy rifle, let alone a hand gun.
Maybe the outside of the barrel is a clue that it's not rifled INSIDE.
ReplyDeleteWell it would be a cannon.....Ray
ReplyDeleteWell, give us the skinney for cripes sake, we wanna know!
ReplyDeleteWell, not my gun, but it's a .577 Nitro, in a Match Grade Machine barrel. I don't know how anyone could enjoy shooting that monster.

ReplyDeleteProbably so much recoil, they fly off.

DeleteTC Contenders invite extreme "hold my beer" stupidity. Here is that round in a rifle:
