    Would you buy a top break 6 o'clock revolver?

    My dream revolver would be something similar to one used by Vash in the anime Trigun.



    Curious why there aren't any revolvers like this out there. Top break that'll eject all spent cartridges like -



    Coupled with a 6 o'clock barrel like the Metaba / Rhino.

    What would be your ideal caliber for this type of revolver?

    The reason that design isn't widely used is because it is weaker than a solid frame where the cylinder just swings out the side.

        I have 3. I want more. I wish a modern version would be made but not likely for reason stated.

          I would like to have one like Hellboys!

                    You're not the only one wanting one would be a way cool pistol to own in 357mag or 38sp.

                      I wouldn't mind a top break revolver in a 2 inch barrel. The only issue i see witht his is the strength. Like convertible cars, want one but when taking hard turns the body tends to flex.

                        I don't care how much function / form this revolver has. It's ugly and I wouldn't spend my money on one.
                        Won't last on the market IMO.

                          IIRC there is a modern Russian 38spl topbreak, but it wasn't ever imported...
                          MP412 REX, but the Wikipedia entry is very sparse. Google image search brings up some cool pic tho.

                          While I have no need for the bottom barrel I do like the topbreak idea, as I am left handed.

                            Yes, my only experience with that gun is in BFBC2 but I would try to buy one if I could.

                            I think I would go with a Telecaster. The bolt on neck would be the strongest to deal with terrorist zombies. I know most folks will say Strat, but I think the trem system is unreliable.
                            I mean, who needs to dive bomb when SHTF? That only happens in movies.
