World’s biggest revolver

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″)!

    It’s a 28mm blackpowder cap-and-ball revolver. You can see the caps and balls next to the smaller pistol in one of the photos. 28mm=1.1 inches, like the comments said.

    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.

    I’m sure the man who designed this gun has nothing to worry about in the underwear department and is no way compensating.

    Actually the 30mm ADEN and DEFA aircraft cannon are the world’s largest revolvers.

    Quite obviously finding a holster for concealed carry would be a wee bit difficult!! So open carry it is!!

      Jay.Mac, I am not sure. It says .28mm somewhere, but that makes no sense. Maybe .280 (7mm). I dunno.

    I assume the Peoples Republic of Kalifonia will not allow sales of this revolver in their land.

      Zack, they tried developing a snub model but the muzzle flash blinded the operator, making follow up shots difficult ;)

    Umm, your post is incorrect Steve.

    That is actually a very tiny man standing next to a normal sized 1858 Remington.
