This is one photo of 2 designs from the past. They have been updated and will be produced by Tucson Gun Works. Billy Bob Riley and John LeBourgeois have joined to produce the gun shown above called the Ramrod, and the other the Competitor. This is not the breach loading Competitor, but a break open action single shot, with a barrel similar to the Dan Wesson barrel system. The Ramrod seems to have a beefy action, and and from what John has told me, this action will be able to handle some big cartridges with high pressures! From what I understand, some of the Competitor models may already be available for purchase, and the Ramrod soon to follow. He is in the process of getting other options in barrel brands availability, as well as fluted and octagon configurations. I also suggested a Ruger Bisley grip option, which really tames heavy recoiling cartridges from what I've experienced from the 475 & 500 Linebaughs I've had in the past. If you want to know more about these 2 single shots, e-mail John at john@azresearch.com, or can be reached at 520-609-4043.

As I didn't buy a T/C Scout pistol when I could have I'd be interested to see a 209 x .54 (or .58?) caliber muzzleloader barrel. I very much agree with using the Bisley grip shape instead of the SAA plow handle.

I bought a TC Scout .54 at the last big gunshow in our area. It is truly a blast to shoot. Even with #11 caps I have not had a miss-fire.

The pistol in this post looks interesting and if it fits the hand as well as my TC Scout it will be a pleasure to shoot.
