Subdeacon Joe Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 "I'm assuming that is integral porting on the end of the barrel? This is a pretty darn neat looking revolver." Steel Challenge Shooting Assn. Afnpsril cee2snst4huh atShS poa2n:sSdor3coo1 esPdM · Posted @withregram • @kc_eusebio Met a Japanese shooter who had won Steel Challenge in the revolver division in 1991. He came back and this is the same revolver he used. Such a unique looking wheel gun Here’s the question, what would you name her and where is she from? Make me laugh. Happy Friday y’all. #2A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Just now, Alpo said: Ugly as hell. Yeah, I am! But the revolver has a kind of Buck Rodgers/Steampunk appeal to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Don't spend the guy's money for him. If he wants it he should have it and we shouldn't put down his piece no matter how stupid and useless we think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El CupAJoe Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 "It is my most favorite gun" Apparently the "Vera" Prop was originally built by the prop house to be used as an example of a homebuilt ghost firearm for some movie that never happened. I'm just thinking that if I'm homebuilding a gun to skirt the law, Vera is way too complicated... piece of pipe and a nail is more my speed... apparently the gunsmiths that worked on it took about a month per copy (they made several) I'm working from memory here, if you want exact details, it's on the firearm blog tv.

Alpo Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I finally went and looked up Vera. Having never seen Firefly or serenity or whatever the hell that show was I didn't know it. I found this quote. Sounds like something a modern anti-gun politician would say. Six men came to kill me one time. And the best of 'em carried this. It's a Callahan full-bore auto-lock. Customized trigger, double cartridge thorough gauge. It is my very favorite gun… This is the best gun made by man. It has extreme sentimental value… I call her Vera.

Oh, and as I recall, Vera helps save the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Joker Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I got the title reference and am a brown coat myself. Used to blast the theme at work when I got stressed.

Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I think it's pretty ugly myself , but two questions come to mind. Isn't Steel Challenge shot with .22s , and start with gun-in-hand , so no holster needed?? Not sure , why I'm asking. Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also Steel Challenge where you use Center Fire pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
