A new production stainless 1875 Remington in .357....since we are dreaming, lol.
That is a wonderfully concise run-down on that system.Most revolvers Americans are used to seeing are based on Colt or Smith designs, widely copied worldwide. Most gunheads would recognize a Webley or Mateba, but they're rarities.
However, the French Systeme Delvigne design was also used worldwide, mostly in the French Empire, a few makers in Belgium and Germany, and... Russia. The variant most people would recognize is the 1895 Nagant "gas seal" revolver. Only a few of the non-Russian variants had that.
There were probably more Nagants than all the rest of the Delvignes put together, but variants were made with left or right swinging cylinders, single or double action, and calibers up to .44.
The "gas seal" was primarily a means of minimizing corrosion from old-style powders and corrosive primers; if you've ever had to clean a black powder revolver, the residue gets *everywhere*. It also provides absolutely accurate indexing of each chamber to the bore as the cylinder slides over the mouth of the barrel, and there's no sideways flash from a breech gap.
I'd love to have something on that pattern, either with a swing-out cylinder or top break, chambered in .357 Magnum.
Oh, and the "gas seal" mechanism has a pivoted breechblock that holds the rim of the cartridge firmly against the cylinder when in battery; the cartridge can't back out. So if you wanted a bottleneck cartridge you wouldn't have any problems with the cylinder jamming due to case setback.
Mine is actually very achievable. Rossi Cyclops 8”.
That is very weird looking 9mm wheelgun, and it looks like something the Joker would pack. And I don't think that 9mm is going to gain that much in that long of a barrel, and comp on a 9mm wheelgun?, I can understand one on a semi-auto but a heavy-ish wheelgun, it's superfluous, the only real thing I can appreciate about is the 8 round capacity but it requires moonclips, now if someone was going to shoot 9mm Major in it, it makes somewhat more sense. And this is comming from someone whom owns one of my "dream wheelguns" of a 7.5" barreled SRH in 480 Ruger.
Actually not so absurd at all, that Raging Judge has multi-caliber functionally, you could have birdshot 410 in one chamber, pellet in another, 454 in another, 45 Colt in another and 45 Schofield in another.View attachment 888667
Yes completely absurd but hey i bought my dream revolver.
Nice score there gun and shot placement wise, Armored Farmer.Here is a quick pick of my latest "grail" quest.
After years of admiration, months of contemplation, and weeks of counseling, I bought this 2½" s&w 66.

It shoots like a laser, as predicted by a fellow thr member.
He did fail to warn me that with every shot, my ears would flap, and my drawers would fall down around my ankles. I gotta get some milder ammo reloaded. These PMC bronze jsp 158s shoot great.....but wow!, they'll clear your sinuses too!.
And if you ran out of all of those bullets you could still get the job done with your 13 inch 5 pound hammergunActually not so absurd at all, that Raging Judge has multi-caliber functionally, you could have birdshot 410 in one chamber, pellet in another, 454 in another, 45 Colt in another and 45 Auto Rim in another.
Actually .45AR precludes the use of any other rimmed cartridge. In this case it would be everything but .45AR.Actually not so absurd at all, that Raging Judge has multi-caliber functionally, you could have birdshot 410 in one chamber, pellet in another, 454 in another, 45 Colt in another and 45 Auto Rim in another.
Interesting, then I change 45 Auto Rimmed to 45 SchofieldActually .45AR precludes the use of any other rimmed cartridge. In this case it would be everything but .45AR.
Not really -- anything that needs to be done with a handgun can be done with either a .22 LR or a .45.I think I got them. Really like my Ruger Vaquero Bisleys. 45's...is there any other caliber,...really?View attachment 891472
