I love revolvers, but that is one seriously goofy looking gun.
That barrel alone will make all the other guns laugh at it. ;)

[sevenshot]

What, Scandium sideplate & stainless frame?

[Fiveshooter]

I have to agree with DeltaElite. That is one Silly looking revolver.:uhoh:
I have been a fan of short barreled revolvers for years but that aborition redefines "short barreled":scrutiny:

Looks like another S&W that I just can't wait not to get.

Best Regards,
Billy

[USGuns]

That might be kinda cool in 9mm...

[EJ]

Scandium sideplate so they can say it's scandium---:rolleyes:

Pull the barrel off completely and shoot from the cylinders -- like an old SAA--=

[Bergeron]

That's the single ulgiest revolver I've ever seen. My god, how hard would it have been to take a 625 in .45 ACP, roundbutt the frame, stick some Spegel's on it and chop the barrel to a more reasonable 2''?

That thing is an abortion.

[Fiveshooter]

Bergeron,

You know it's not good to hold back. I suggest you go ahead and let us know how you really feel and stop beating around the bush. You will feel better when you get it off your chest.:neener:

Best Regards,
Billy

[Jim March]

Holy...:eek:.

How long is that barrel?

If it's 2" total, they shoulda done 3". Bigtime.

[Archie]

Bulldog from the Tom and Jerry cartoons. You know, all shoulders, no head?

It needs enough barrel for an extractor rod, for Pete's sake. As big as that cylinder is, another inch or two of barrel ain't gonna screw up the deal.

[Nightcrawler]

This thing would've been a lot better with a 3" barrel. I mean, it's an N-frame, after all, and .45ACP isnt' exactly a high speed round to begin with.

Whaddaya think the muzzle velocity from that thing is going to be? 700fps? :scrutiny:

[Tamara]

Actually, I really like it. (You don't need much of an ejector rod to pop stubby .45 ACP cases and a moonclip out...)

But then again, I own a 296 and a Mateba, so my wheelgun aesthetics are questionable... ;)

[makarov]

I think it would have looked better if they hadn't tapered the barrel. Same length, but made it kind of a fuller lug design with the barrel the same diameter out to the end. Also just do away with the front sight altogether or mill in just a groove all the way to the end. As is, I think it looks like it was ground off in a giant pencil sharpener.

[Poohgyrr]

Are those Eagles????

[Wildalaska]

I think its kinda cute, or at least no more ugly than an AK or AUG...or Glock...

[Kahr carrier]

I like it,It is so ugly its kind of cute.:) If I could buy one I would .:D

[Robert inOregon]

Well, yesterday I sold a three inch 625 in 45 acp to make room in the safe for one of these creatures and already have a holster. Committed sight unseen, but we get the same thing when having kids. And no one is going to admit that they have an ugly one. :p

[bpisler]

Give it a 3" tapered barrel and i'll take it.

[Kahr carrier]

Sold a 625 3inch ???:what:

[Albert Shear]

Maybe its just cold!

[TeamCorbon]

I had a chance to shoot one of these and I really like it! I think it will make an ideal back up or deep concealment gun. As soon as they're available I will have one! BTW, we shot PowRball ammo and it was fine.....no problem with excessive recoil. I think the looks will grow on you kind of like the bodyguard and centennial series. A bobbed hammer is the only thing I can think of that I'd likie different on this gun.

[Albert Shear]

I forgot, what I am carrying presently is a 625 3"(1990) run and Performance Center tuned. So far I think it is the ideal carry revolver.

[Pappy John]

A set of thier Hi-viz sights *might* have made it uglier.

[M1911]

Well, yesterday I sold a three inch 625 in 45 acp I'm having the vapors! Someone call a doctor...

[sw442642]

Make one in 9mm with a shortened cylinder rather than the 38/357 cylinder. Great last ditch pocket gun.

[KMKeller]

It looks like Michael Jackson's nose...

[dairycreek]

it should read, write, and have a job. Good shooting;)

[Whit]

That's good for GLOCK............ someone finally make an uglier gun. ....Whit:neener:

[gumshoe4]

I like it, also, but:

1. We'll never get it in California
2. If we do, I'll never be able to afford it.

That short little barrel would sure be difficult for a ne'er-do-well to grab if he was trying to remove the gun from your possession.

That gun reminds me of old British Webley breaktops and other "bulldog" style revolvers using very large, very heavy, very slow (<700 fps) bullets at close range.

Wish we could get one.:mad:
