Save your money for now. Wait until they've been on the market for a while, then buy a used one. There should be quite a few readily available. Expect that they'll be sold along with a box of 49 unfired cartridges.

Phew, just fits into a 7/8" die body.

Also: Someone might want to drop a line to Lyman, we're gonna need an .824 Keith Bullet for this sucker.

Gonna need more than 12 oz. leather for it, maybe, kydex.
Concealed carry, being the issue, is going to require some weight training.
That said in jest, the weight is approximate to the original Colts used by the Texas Rangers or pommel guns.

Hmmmm...a bit small for self-defense...tell you what, I don't think it is enough gun to be considered a reliable, let alone a one-shot stop round.  Also, I don't think it would shoot flat enough to take out a long range mugger.  I mean come on, if it drops more than 1" at 100yds., you need a better gun.   ;D ::) ;D

Hey, anyone know if it makes "major"?

I'm wayy ahead of the game.
Been carrying a snub nosed 105mm Howitzer in a shoulder rig for some years now....
Works great for alley clearing when loaded with flechette rounds too !

As for "big game", I prefer the 155mm gun. Has a little more reach than the 105.
Only needed a follow up shot on a 75 pound deer once..

Now, when it comes to those nasty feral hogs, only a 175mm gun, loaded with the
atomic shells should be considered. It's a good idea to fire from at least
10 miles away though.

I wonder if Mike over at OTT can make a barrel for it to fit my Encore? Then we would find out if the T/C "recoil proof" scopes really are!
