OK... this is cool... 12 shot revolver...
if ammo were still available... I'd have to get in on the bidding... but I guess I'll just have to sit back & watch...

Not sure I'd want a 5.5mm... Louis L'Amour had a couple of his characters carry a Walch .36 Navy Revolver.

The hammer could be altered to fire .22 rimfire. There was another Belgian revolver that fired (I think) 14 rounds that had two rows of chambers and a movable hammer nose.

European Revolvers
This French LeFaucheux was a little too expensive for me. I had to let it go. I didn't bother checking the price on this one. The engraved look plus that extractor rod, which reminds me of a bathroom sink, would no doubt be expensive. I got into those old French and Belgium revolvers, when I acquired a Guardian Model of 1878 in 9mm last year. That foreign look, combined with some of them having a cylinder designed to hold 12 to 20 rounds just blows me away. Last edited by Slowhand; September 2, 2011 at 10:09 AM. Reason: comments |

Looks like the cylinder is at least 3" in diameter.

Le Mat
You betcha! I’d love to have one of Col. Le Mat ‘s “Grapeshot” Revolvers. 9 Pin fire .44 Caliber rounds with a 20 Gauge shotgun barrel. But those prices are something else. Even for a replica. I'm not cheap. I'm just not easy. |
