S&W .44mag, 8-3/8ths.
This is an internet friend of mine from England who was just dying to shoot the biggest gun I have, so of course I had to oblige. It was cold and raining that day, hence the gloves.
We were trying to emulate a shot my wife took sometime ago, capturing the gasses escaping the barrel.
This is as close as we got that day. As an after thought I could have probably put the camera in video mode and clipped the pic we were after.
All that aside, you can see that ignition has taken place, and the bullet is still probably meandering its way down the barrel.
The curious thing about this shot is where the hammer is.
The position would tell me that the hammer does not remain seated throughout the entire performance as I would have thought.
