Definitely not your everyday concealed carry

[H.m.B]

Was over at military.com and ran across this. I'm not sure what kind of IWB holster you'd use with this.

A man in Poland has built the world's largest working revolver, according to Guinness World Record. The weapon, a Remington model 1859, was built by Ryszard Tobys. It took Mr Tobys around 2,500 hours to construct. 45-kg revolver, whose chamber holds six 136 gram bullets, shoots with great accuracy at a range of up to 50 meters.

I wonder where he gets his ammo!

It appears to be something similar to a cap and ball? 22g[rams] of black powder behind a 28mm ball! Pretty cool!

110 caliber

2,100 grain bullets

Revolver? Or cannon?

Impressive.

A home made crew served weapon.

Probably take a whole cow to make a holster for it.

I think I could make ankle-carry work.

I think I could make ankle-carry work.

I was thinking Smart Carry.

 

[ATBackPackin]

But does it have enough stopping power?

 

[chris in va]

...only if you hit on the first shot.

If they remake Dirty Harry, that should be the gun he pulls out.

My... That's a big one.

 

[docnyt]

My... That's a big one.

That's what Mrs. Tobys said...

Sorry couldn't resist.

It's a replica of a Remington 1858 cap n' ball revolver. I've seen pics of it floating around the net for years now, but this is the first time I saw a video.

Seems rather....tame for such a big piece. Maybe he powderpuffed the loads.

If you can call ANY load for that thing a powdepuff

They found Chuck Norris's Revolver ....

 

[tyeo098]

Ah Poland.

Superior.

 

[scaatylobo]

**** !!!

That is too funny,as was them taking 2 men to bring it back to the car [ truck ? ].

Andre the giant [ rest in peace ] would not have been able to conceal that beast - might have been able to actually carry it though.

Now -that's- a revolver mate!

 

[InkEd]

Na Zdrowie!

Tak tak!!

 

[Just One Shot]

I'd like to see him fan that baby!

I'm wondering why they chose to designate it as a "Remington 1859." Remington's New Model Army, which this one appears to be based on, was actually made in 1863-1875 while the very first Remington revolver of this design, the Remington-Beals, was first manufactured in 1860. The 1858 date is when the design was patented so I don't usually kick when folks refer to the NMA as "the 1858." However, as far as I can find, there weren't even any Remington revolvers made in 1859.

Quite a gun, to say the least! Looks like some fine workmanship too. I wonder why he didn't go with a brass frame like the "repro" shown with it in the video?

Gosh...that's bigger than the 88 Magnum.

 

[EddieG54]

Would solve a lot of bear caliber debates!!!!

 

[gamestalker]

I would just tow it behind my truck, or mount it in the bed. That's awesome though!

Yosemite Sam's been carrying that gun for over 60 years!

Finally! Something in a crew-served weapon, besides the Desert Eagle!
