:shock: Just saw mention of the following.Made by Pfeifer Firearms of Austria.Its called"Zeliska".As I`m pretty much computer illiterate,could someboby check this beast out and post some pics and info?How big is it?
The 5 shot cyl alone weighs in at 4.5 pounds.Oh yeah,the cal is .600 NE.Hehehe.Does that qualify as a"Handcannon"?Thanks for any help on this.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

pass. I own a 510 wells express. Should be capable of 8000 ft lb at the muzzle, some internet data claims 9000 ft lb of muzzle energy. I've never loaded it past 7,000 and it's far too much for my shoulder, head, and sinus cavities. That's at 7000 ft lb of energy in a 12 lb rifle.

7500 ft lb in a 13 lb revolver? no thanks.

No thanks.

Hubel458 had a load for his 9 pound pistol grip shot gun at 9,500 ft lbs. Had loads for his Shotguns from H*ll well north of 15,000 ft lbs as I recall, and may have been north of 20K.

And now I know where the first half of his name comes from.

You're welcome. I have found Google images to be the best place for me when I'm looking for info on odd items. It'll show things that the standard web search may not.

I don't expect to see that gun in a pistol competition!

.600NE isn't even close to the biggest hand cannon. I have built 2 Bore pistols for some of my customers.

OK, a 2 bore (or 4 bore) pistol that seems to recoil less than a 500 S&W would be just the bee's knees, especialy if accurate to 25 yards. That would be hilarious to take to one of the club pistol shoots. Methinks pennies need to be saved in a piggybank for something of that.... caliber.....
