Talk about your performance enhancing accessories. This looks to be made as a joke since there is no screw in the revolver grip. With the Aimpoint red dot, I suspect it would help reduce muzzle flip and recoil. Looks like a fun plinker and if the large grip is [Read More…]

A small single shot firearm designed to be concealed in oneself until a time it can be discretely extracted and presumably used against a high valued target. Custom tiny projectiles (4.5mm in this case) were often intended to be laced with poison.
Thanks to Deon for sending this in. From the photo above it is a rather straight forward design. It is a pull back sling shot style firing mechanism. The black straps are most likely some elastic probably rubber and they propel the screw driver forward driving [Read More…]
