Many of you have probably seen this revolver before, but I had not. The gigantic wheel gun measures four feet in length!
It was build by Ryszard Tobys and was modeled after the Remington Model 1859 revolver. It is 28mm in caliber (1.1″)!
Thanks to Sven for the link.

Umm, your post is incorrect Steve.
That is actually a very tiny man standing next to a normal sized 1858 Remington.
I’ll wait for the snub model
Matt, LOL
Zack, they tried developing a snub model but the muzzle flash blinded the operator, making follow up shots difficult
I assume the Peoples Republic of Kalifonia will not allow sales of this revolver in their land.
some people…..i think the bullet is the size of the picture from top to bottom
What calibre is it?
Jay.Mac, I am not sure. It says .28mm somewhere, but that makes no sense. Maybe .280 (7mm). I dunno.
Here is website of maker of this revolver:

Quite obviously finding a holster for concealed carry would be a wee bit difficult!! So open carry it is!!
Actually the 30mm ADEN and DEFA aircraft cannon are the world’s largest revolvers.
justbill, LOL
I’m sure the man who designed this gun has nothing to worry about in the underwear department and is no way compensating.
Matt and Zack…lolz

It might be .950 JDJ. They got a sporting exception and can be purchased like regular firearms. It would be a wee bit expensive to shoot at ten dollars for the lathe turned broze bullets and forty for the casing.
OOPs a big gun
A barrel load of funl
