    Help me ID this revolver



    This picture pops up on a GSK forum. I enlarged it,but I am clueless as to what the heck it is. Look at that bore! Or is it a shroud? Some kind of trainer? Doctored photo?

    It does look big. Is it fluted, making it look bigger?

      The OD of the barrel is too large to be a standard "factory" gun.

        Looks like a deep socket slipped over the barrel to make it look big bored, then they put a sight on it.

          No clue. And what's up with that front sight? The base makes it look like it's more than drift adjustable.

            Maybe a Wesson with a custom shroud? A .44 plus the black barrel lock might look like that,but I've never seen one like it.

                I can't tell if that's a one piece base or not. Did folks make PPCs with two piece bases? Google image says you're very close either way.

                    I think you guys are right. Just a little before my time. I was still shooting airguns in the 70's.

                      If you looks closely enough, you can see the barre inside with a much more reasonable sized bore

                        Where’s big pimping when you need him
                        Some say that he once mooned two prostitutes just for a round of drinks, but wasn't surprised by the reply......They call him, the Hutch
                        Some say that he rode a dirtbike 7k miles across the country and that he once applied Bengay to his own testicles for a mere $50............They call him, the Hutch -Top Gear

                          I'm going to guess it's a customized Smith K frame. The woman is Carol Daly who was a Sac County sheriff's deputy who worked the east area rapist case, which became the Golden State Killer case eventually. She retired in 2001 as the one of the under sheriff's I believe.

                            ^ Hahaaha HUTCH,
                            I was just thinking if she is still around today Big Pimping would be ready for her.



                            And I think it Maybe a type of concave barrel crown that used to be done on custom pistols back in the day.

                            Here's a link to a website that does a modification similar to that called an 11-degree crown....




                            I think the purpose like most barrel crowns is to protect the rifle threads right where it exits the barrel because messing those up can throw off the barrels accuracy.

                              A sleeved barrel revolver. A '60s fad which never caught on for main stream?
