Have you seen this World's Largest Revolver?
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 12/4/2017 | J Hines

Are you into big revolvers?, I’m not talking about your .357 Python or .44 Magnum. I’m talking really big, a Remington model 1859.

This was built by a man from Poland. His name is Ryszard Tobys from central Poland. He currently holds the Guinness World record for building the largest working revolver.

They say it took 2,500 hours to construct due to the parts being custom built by hand. This big a&* revolver holds six 136 gram bullets (4.8 ounces) shoots accurately up to 50 meters. Take a look at this world's largest revolver video here.

Not a concealed carry handgun, unless you are King Kong. And good luck finding a holster for it.

He should use additional hearing protection, too.

It's an .88 Magnum. It shoots through schools.

An average buffalo would do.

Great sitcom that deserved a couple of more seasons.

Agreed. And at least a replay on METV. There are some snippets on Youtube.

He shoots it in a lock-down mount. Let’s see him one-hand it like Dirty Harry.

I have both DVD sets.

This weekend I a prop from the show I bought on Ebay from Alan Spencer. He was doing some charity fundraising. The item was a left over poster from an episode. Sledge Hammer wanted dead or dead.

It’s getting framed.

I kind of like the description “accurate to 50 meters”. Is that everything within 50 meters or a specific target at 50 meters? Cause you could pretty much hit “everything” within 50 meters with a bullet that big.

I’ll have to look into joining.

My wife loves Police Squad type humor but for some reason does not care for Hammer
