What a wonderful and innovative creation. You must tell us how it shoots after all is comp-leted. I would call it "Terminator,"

or "Jabili Elminator."

.375 H&H and pretty hot .45-70s work in Encore and BFR Revolver form, respectively. 14-18" ported .375s with handgun loadings really aren't that bad compared to a lot of mall ninja gear.

Current new project started out as a maybe a .450 Ackley and it doesn't seem to be something one could hang on to so far, even with admitted strong hands at max pressures, so it's going into rethink mode.

Thought about making the .458 tube a .45-120 but from an efficiency standpoint it's beyond silly. Still, a 3.25" cartridge impresses some at the range if you want a showpiece.

I'll see your Frankenstein and raise you. Helps to machine the ports in the right places.

I buy the start of my experiments as Encore or Contender PISTOL frames. Says so right on the 4473.
Saves potential hassles. No max legal length on a pistol barrel in the US and anybody who tells me you can't have a pistol barrel in the US over 16" shall be laughed off the boards. Don't even make any sense to go under that on hand rifles with belted magnums. State laws might vary, Feds don't.

Anyone that disagrees with that fact should serve a life sentence shooting 6" barrel .223 pistols.
Webcams would be nice.
