Both Colt and Smith & Wesson used to make revolvers like this at one time. While they did look pretty awkward when first removed from their case it all makes sence when you see the butt stock being mounted. Note, at the time they were being produced they were called Revolving Rifles.

So, my brother ordered one and talked me into it. Got it for about 160 something with adjustable sights from PSA. I'm going to order a magnum cylinder. the finish is a little not smooth, but I may come up with some crazy Cerakote job. Shoots pretty nice for a sub $200 gun. I find it easier to shoot it off hand because the frame is on the small side for me to get two hands on it. The lady that owns my local gun shop called me when it came in and said she just received the strangest gun she has ever seen!

Buntline not-so-special.

Trying to get Dan Wesson to make me a barrel, I would then make a stock for the handgun.

So, far DW can't/won't do it

Add a useful dimension to an excellent revolver.

I would get one if it was DA/SA but I cannot see myself pulling the trigger every time to shoot. I know the SA revolver is popular with many people but not for me. Besides that comment, the pistol looks great and for $150 approximately, it is a great novelty. I would actually like one in DA/SA.
