I am waiting on the arrival my new Switch Caliber Redhawk to show up. In the mean time a picture will have to do





This is a 44/45 caliber revolver. A Dan Wesson barrel system was fitted to a 44 Mag Redhawk frame and a complete 45 Colt cylinder and frame was added with quick change capabilities. When the revolver arrives I will give it a complete evaluation and post the results

That is so VERY cool!

I had a two barrel set Dan Wesson in 44 mag. once. There was a feeler gauge as well. I see that your barrel has two lock up points, front and rear. Looks good. Main problem was that POI was not the same.

Berry Berry nice.

JWP, Yep way kewl and slick! I appreciate the fine mechanical aspects of the switch barrel set-ups. But, as you well know, "to me" they are more of a novelty. I do not see me having a practical application for a switch barrel set up. But, firearm's appreciation - likes/dislikes is each to his/her own. Personally, I would prefer a separate revolver in each caliber.

I've had multiple cylinder handguns in the past. The problem is that the sights are always different, requiring re-zeroing in order to use. I always thought it was more trouble than it was worth and would much prefer two seperate handguns.

Dual caliber='s twice the fun

According to the maker, this one will not require re-zeroing. At least when he test fired it with the ammo used

Very nice.Who is doing the work????

Neat Idea but unless one lives in a area that restricts the number of guns you can own.

What is the cost of the extra barrel,cly and conversion.

I find that the money spend on such guns is better spent on buying a whole other weapon in the the cailber you want. I have multi barreled sets most of the barrels just lay around doing nothing. It is just eaiser to pick up another gun then it is to change barrels.

I would like to add that this switch caliber revolver wasn't built out of some "need." Jwp has plenty of revolvers in numerous calibers. This was built just because, and it turned out great. It's a neat concept that was executed very well.

Whitworth is correct
