I hesitate to post this, because it just quite simply is not my dream revolver, however, it almost fits the thread.

It's an interesting revolver, there have never been any before or since just like it, it's a neat idea, it does actually exist (I think?!) and the fun factor is very high. Problem is, they are absolutely, ridiculously scarce. I have never seen one in the flesh and it's very rare that someone even mentions them, and the folks who know nothing of them simply write 'em off as "silly, junk or pointless..."

It's the Taurus Raging Thirty, the only double-action .30 Carbine chambered revolver ever commercially offered. (NOTE: the SCSW mentions some extremely rare prototype Smith & Wesson chambered in .30 Carb that was never actually offered and may no longer physically exist...)

Have you ever heard of the Taurus Raging Thirty?
Have you ever seen one?!

I'd buy one if I saw it and I could deal with the price tag.
