Thumbcocker- I'm interested in where you got the lanyard loop on that beautiful revolver?

Good afternoon
These three Dan Wessons are what we call "Switch Caliber" or "Hybreds". Each frame has two possible calibers to change to.
On top are the Supermags. Installed is the .414 SM and just below is the barrel /cylinder for the .375 SM conversion.
Middle is a large frame DW. Installed is the .45 Colt with the barrel / cylinder for the .44 Magnum.
Bottom is the small frame DW. Installed is the .32-20 with the barrel / cylinder for the .357 Magnum.

Each different caliber can be changed over in about than 15 minutes. Each different caliber uses the same barrel "shroud" for each frame size as the swap barrels are the same length.

May yet add a .445 Supermag unit to the top DW frame (upper). Have also considered a .41 Colt for the small DW frame (lower).

Nothing exciting here except for my .45-70 compact BFR pistol. People tend to move quite a ways off from me when I go to fire it. Yes it has some serious recoil too. The muzzle blast will shake stuff off of the Ramada overhead too.

Sweet.

Sweet.

I've had 2 of these with a 7 1/2 inch barrel.......very manageable recoil when shooting my Sharps rifle loads of 70 grains of blackpowder under a 550 cast Creedmoor bullet!

Nice, I like it.

[Pressman]

Needing/Wanting a .357 Mag I stopped by Scheels and took home a nice Blackhawk, 4-5/8" barrel. Walking through the store 4 days later there is this very nice Colt. So nice I don't want to shoot it.
Scheels told me to run home and get the Ruger, they would treat it as a returned item and I could have the Colt.

I did, and they did.

I'll stick this in the handcannon category
A Traditions .54 caliber muzzleloading buckhunter 9" barrel. 80gr FFg and a round ball does one hell of a job. A couple groundhogs have gotten too close....and found themselves fertilizing entire corn fields.....spread real thin

Sweeet!
Now that is what I call an armoury of calibres,very nice!

[no34570]

Fellow shooters
I have to say,you all have very nice taste,well done and keep them shooting.
I used to have pistols and revolvers,until our government decided not to trust all pistol shooter in my State and put big restrictions on us on what we could own and shoot,sad.
