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.

Gun Porn
An un-described piece by JRH Advanced Gunsmiths in Sparks, Nevada. Love the octagon barrel, Bisley stye hammer and popcorn stag grips.
Looks like a highly modified Ruger single action, possible a Vaquero?
It wouldn't be the recoil so much as the intense fireball coming out the barrel. Probable half the powder in a typical 44 mag would even burn in a barrel that short.
Back when I was handloading, I could rig up some 44 special rounds at 800 fps and those would be manageable in a gun like that. I dare say even fun to shoot.
Pocket Rocket!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty. Is that .44 mag?
ReplyDeleteLooks like it, but you wouldn't want it chambered in anything much bigger than that. Who likes crazy recoil?
DeleteI was thinking the same thing about it being a .44 mag. Not something that you would want to spend a lot of time shooting.......
