silvercreekfirearms.com/they look like someone copied the ergonomics of a current pellet revolver, and then made it weird and ungainly. The trigger looks too low to use with the grip frame. Having said that, the ergonomics kind of remind me of the 1882 Enfield MkII which is surprisingly comfortable and DA user friendly in my experience. And with an advertised weight of 3.7 pounds, I'm not sure about the need to add a muzzle break system to a .357mag - unless the ergonomics are so poor as to require it. or am I totally missing something?

That sure is interesting! There's a lot I like: America Made wheel gun, 17-4 PH construction, 7 shot 357 chamber, a fixed-frame double action gun. Grip spike too I think. The look is bold! Even with the matte finish it's not for me. But it sure makes a statement, more power to anyone who likes it v8l.408.myftpupload.com/matte-finish-option/I'm not quite sure what to think about the enormously thick frame and overall high weight. It's a lot. Maybe this was an intentional thing for recoil mitigation and balance. And yeah, it's just a 357 Magnum, but I believe everyone shoots better when it's less punishing to pull the trigger. Even if you don't develop a flinch, it's just less work to shoot a milder gun, which means more of our limited energy can be directed into marksmanship. |

Interesting.
And I hope it sells a ton.
But for that much, I would GO Freedom arms. Or Custom Ruger...

The size and weight thing, on the website, pin matches are mentioned.

For all it may have going for it, it sure is ugly IMHO.

It is a strange thing.
Unless I missed something, it is double action but loads and unloads like a single action. If that right, it is a strange idea to me. I am no gun smith but it seems to be designed as a hunting revolver. would it not be simpler to just make a single action?. Might look better and cost less too!...tj

I hope it doesn't fly. I couldn't live in the same world as it.

I can't say much that hasn't been said.
It's ugly and looks massive (heavy).
For the money, I'd opt for a FA97...

Funny that it is choosing to compete in an arena already populated with so many established, refined players. It needs to bring something new to the table.
You know , chamber it for Buckhammers or Legends or something.

Looks sorta like a High Standard Sentinel and a Ragging Bull got together and did a little you know what.
