Hmmm, there's a few guns in there that interest me. The Marlin Mdl 60 50th Anniversary for one. Browning Hi Power 75 Anniversary for another.
Might look up one of the Marlins.

I noticed the picture of the Glock 50 caliber conversion seems to be showing off some of the new Grizzly Ammo bullets. Looks like those 50's open up pretty wide.

i like the take down model 92 wonder if they have .357?

I think that I could spend a lot of money and have a ton of fun with most of the guns shown there. Where to start??? That .45 Auto caliber semi-auto carbine looks like it would be more fun than I've had in a while. That 30 shot .22Magnum pistol looks interesting. The Barrett rifle would be fun to see from just how far away I could punch holes in paper. The 12 guage that looks like an overgrown AR15 would be fun to try. That might do for starters. How does Jeff Quinn deal with being around all those guns and not die from stress of wondering which one to shoot first?

How about that revolving rifle. I'm not sure of the practicality, but I love the look.

I am sure it would be a lot of fun to try. Can we, please, can we???

Although not the one pictured in the SHOT show pics, I have a revolving cylinder carbine. It is made by Uberti, called a Cattleman's Carbine, and is based on a Remington Style revolver. 18 inch barrel, .44 caliber. I loved the look as well. It is, however, not too practical to shoot. You have to be careful to keep both hands behind the cylinder. The hot gases coming from the small gap between frame and cylinder will scorch you. So, you need to learn a good firing stance/position. And of course a chain fire would be very bad indeed.

I purchased an R&D Cylinder for that rifle that allows the use of .45 Long Colt cartridges. Now I use that most of the time when I shoot that rifle. It's a two piece cylinder that opens to accept the cartridges, then has a 'firing pin' for each chamber. Clean-up is easier, etc. Last fall I loaded the BP cylinder at home, carried it with me to the range, and then finished the day making lots of smoke. That was after several .45 LC loads. Did not have a problem.

Hmmm......Rhino revolver. So that's what it looks like when a rhino eats your revolver and leaves it in a pile of dung.
