THAT is cool, man! Staight out of that old Steve McQueen bounty hunter TV show (whose name escapes me completely...).

How's it shoot, and how many rounds does it hold?

I liked the old Steve Mcqueen series and thought that gun was neat. It was chambered in something like 44-40 and would shoot about a dozen times from that short magazine.

The only problem was Steve's cartridge belt was filled with what looked like 30-40 Krag or even longer cartridges. I don't think that short mag would have held more than one of those. Even the .44-4- would have been only three or so, a really impractical design.

The AK. Another fun plinker.

That 50 Alaskan must be a handful.

Now wouldn't that shorty carbine be interesting chambered for the new S&W .50 revolver cartridge.

And, of course, the S&W handgun that would share the same cartridge already exists.

Hmmmmmm.
