I thought everybody pretty much knew that, although I expect there are some who found out the hard way.  :shock:

Very nice!

I thought wheel guns were falling out of popularity simply because of the quality and affordability of semi-autos.
Nice to see a new company forging ahead with a new revolver.  :thumbsup:

Impressive gun, very much like the Dan Wesson 357 mag a friend of mine had. The variable pitch rifling, is this something new?

I have no idea what's up with that rifling.

My brother saw something about that company on a Michigan outdoors show. He thought it looked cool, so he called and ordered one.

He's single, never been married, no kids. He can drop $2K+ on a revolver just cause it looks cool. :rolleyes:

Variable pitch rifling has been around for quite some time.  IIRC the .460 XVR has it.  It's supposed to give the bullet a more gradual rotational acceleration, but I've never seen a performance comparison.

Because going from 0 to 1000mph in .0012 seconds needs gradual.  :rofl:
