Engraved Tranter 577-Caliber Hand Cannon 

You Sir, have won the Internet today. Well played.

Did I fire four or five, old bean?

1SaG I’m using this.

*young chap

Bravo!

Nolan that is priceless! Good on you

Uncouth Harold, the constabulary officer

Good, but period English would dictate "pistol" or "revolving pistol" if you prefer.

@@skepticalbadger If one was feeling historical, "hand gonne" would work.

RU-vid seriously needs a "love" emote

any more than 5 rounds would be un-sporting, old chap.

True. I remember in the 1980s when the Street sweeper shotgun hit US markets, people complained about the slow reload time, the thought was if you can't handle it with 12 rounds of 12 gauge, you weren't going to do it with 24. I'm sure Tranter felt the same way.

You need to find another solution.

‘In dire fortune’

This is a play on the old soldier's adage: "If you find yourself in a fair fight, someone screwed-up..."

...with a couple of broken wrists for good measure.

Forgot that, if the situation calls, you can take off the cylinder to end him rightly

Sounds like quadruple threat to me

If your pocket is big enough.

Tranter and Adams.......British hand cannons. The backbone of the British empire

SKAVENSLAVEEESSSS

A big enough pocket is not the thing. You'll need some seriusly reinforced fabric for this beast. I propose sheetmetal

After I took a look at the ammo, I think it's more like "Wide Boris Johnson walking"

I'm more worried you let Gun Jesus break quarantine.

Thy will be done, my lord. But wait, if we make fun of Gun Jesus, aren't we heretics? Then I say NAY, BEGONE FOUL BLASPHEMOUR!

@@turbowolf302 I believe that the videos are recorded not one at a time, but several videos at one place which are released some time apart and mixed up with other videos to make it more interesting for us. I also do not think they let him visit the HK grey room every other week, but he recorded a LOT of videos at once. So, this has probably not been filmed after the quarantine.

@@turbowolf302 He has a very substantial backlog of videos ready to be published, so he's probably not out and about. Any videos currently being made are probably being made at home, about one of his own guns or something else he can talk about without leaving home

A perfect gun for your bagina.

It brings one tactic; the Tactic of Cool

Revolver Ocelot

But .577 does And yes, i was looking for this comment

*Standby for Colonization - Soviet gunslinger*

Jake B Revolver Ocelot

Also, .577 caliber is larger than 28-gauge.

Possibly added for sale in the USA otherwise it would be either .577 or 24 bore.

The irony is that almost all 577 firearms of that period are never 577. Nearly all are considerably bigger. My 1867 “H. Holland” 577 rifle is actually 586. Even quite a few of the Enfields actually exceed 600.

You would think but judging from the specs it's about the same power (see edit) as .45acp out of a very big and heavy gun. So I suspect it would be quite easy on the recoil. Edit: I thought he said a 300 grain bullet for some reason but he actually said 400 grain so yeah, that's a lot heavier than .45acp. Still a bit slower but yeah, it's a good bit more power than .45acp.

@steve gable Wouldn't it be 525 ft/lbs?

Gives you leverage for when you need to pistol-whip a lion.

@starshipeleven If it pushed the bullet at 725 ft/sec then physics doesn't care if it's pushed by black powder, smokeless powder or a fricking spring. It's all going to recoil the same if all else is equal. (Though if you could make a spring loaded pneumatic gun where the piston was pushed backwards it might negate some of that recoil, but I doubt it could be done within the weight limit if at all and certainly not within the physical dimensions of this gun so it's only theoretical. Well I kind of doubt you could design a way to launch that bullet at that speed using a spring at all given the constraints either, but it's a fun thought experiment..)

@@blahorgaslisk7763 Smokeless powder puts higher acceleration on the projectile than black powder so there's some difference, the bullet takes a few more milliseconds to reach muzzle velocity. The shooter will feel the same recoil, but with lower impulse, and that may be the difference between taking a step back and taking a step back with a fractured wrist.

Imagine Ian hitting a spinner with that. Probably hit the target so hard that it will spin like a turboprop and take off. :D

@@michaelfodor6280 I got the same thought, it would hit the spinner hard. but I don´t think it will take of.

@@michaelfodor6280 i bet it would spin it in 3-4 shots.

Complete with lightning fast cylinder removal and reloading!

I mean, just shoot near the cardboard targets and the sheer airblast will shred them up to bits

Tanks? It's for those pesky airships!

Have you heard of Bullet Immunization technique? To reach .600 you would need to train with .577 first or risk fatal Bullet Rejection Syndrome. If you have not heard of this technique before I happen to have one seat left at my next seminar on Advanced Bullet Immunization just for $350. Act fast or risk catching BRS!

@@Salesman9001 is "bullet rejection syndrome" the british equivalent of high velocity lead poisoning?

That .600 Nitro Express revolver, of course

It's training for artillerymen...

The T-72 has a 14.5mm sub-caliber training barrel. That's pretty close actually.

Made to last. I dig Victorian era bottles, most of them are still in perfect condition.

handzooka... im stealing that.

if only it was a handzooka, you would not have to buy new wrists after each shot.. just mind the backblast

Well, the muzzle blast from that would pretty much sterilise anything, assuming it wasn't evaporized in the process

I read that most speculate only a hundred or so were made! That's pretty damn exclusive company!

And if whoever buys it spends all their money, they can just live inside it! It's massive!

It really is something special. From the looks of the grip angle it would probably break your wrist firing those big chunks of lead. Amazingly rare. Gun Jesus always delivers the goods.

@@stunitech a broken wrist would be merciful compared to whatever is on the business end.

@Nicolas Broszky Ain't nothing wrong with a gold shitter, I saw one in al-sijoud got me a taste for the finer things in life. 🤣😂

Aahhh the "poor man's boltgun"

In the grimdarkness of the 41st millennium even revolvers are still relevant.

@@joshshirley9488 *best caliber

In other words, be it .577, 44 Mag, 10mm, .50, or a slew of other proprietary rare calibres like 11mm..... there's actually about three dozen hand calibres out there that make 45.ACP look anemic? Yeah pretty much.

@@joshshirley9488 10mm isn't that much of a hot load most loads are just slightly higher pressures than 40S&W which ballistically isn't much different than 45ACP. If you really want a hot 10mm you have to get buffalo bore or Underwood ammo which is expensive for only 20 rounds.

Thank you very much!

I cover your 10 rolls of TP and bean cans, and I raise two bottles of desinfectant.

I rather ask for that M48 Medusa. Double all you guys have with 2 sack of 10 kg of rice.

I like that frame size, that looks like it'd sit in an average mans hand quite easily. Shooting it, on the other hand...

@@coolspruta They exist but not as much as it is on South Asia

The engraver gets a finished gun to engrave that already has slapped on required proof/gauge markings.

Probably done by a completely different person. I really can't imagine an engraver doing such a thing.

Soooooo what you saying is safari time ?

Or some footage of Ian getting his arm sewn back on

The "did I fire five shots or only four? Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself."

"Would you mind waiting ten minutes while I reload?"

Eastwood wouldn’t carry a British gun, don’t know him but if you have watched gran Torino think about it

He did carry a pair of Colt Walkers in The Outlaw Josey Wales, which were the most powerful handguns at the time. The Walker Colt was only later surpassed in power by the Mars Automatic Pistol and much later the Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver.

I say, does one feel lucky old chap

Does anyone know what brand it is or where he got it?

Lol okay? As is most of the worlds. Most people CAN NOT trace their family back to royalty. This has nothing to do with the gun or anything else.

@@bigbud6842 He just threw it out there for general information. Don't act as such a SJW.

Mr Saturday Night Special thanks mate 👍

I’m going to share something personal. I have tinnitus and a falling asleep problem because of it. I use Ian’s video on proof marks to help me fall asleep. I think I might be responsible for maybe 10% of the views of that video, no joke.

Since having more money than brains seems to be a common condition these days, I'm surprised it went that cheap. I'd love to have a .577 pistol of any type, but common sense keeps getting in the way of my gun collecting.

But sad to say it dosn't give any tactical advantage whatsoever. The engravings is pleasing to the eyes... Pretty good.
