JB your friend is a very good photographer. The revolver is so sharp in the image amd the lighting is perfect.

Why doesn't your friend simply use a ruler to measure the caliber?

Looks like the S&W 586 4 inch barrel model , which chambers 6 rounds of .357 Mag / 38 Special +P rounds .

I guess , S&W revolvers are not the standard issue of MI6 . :lol:

James Bond,
Its a brilliant photograph but to my old eyes it looks like a non-firing (or an airsoft) replica of a S&W made of alloy and not a real firearm that may appear to be out of the box...
There are tell tale signs... a joint where it should not be, disproportional grip panels etc...

But then, I could be wrong... please let us know the truth when you come to know it

Cheers
TC

You really need to read carefully and understand what I am typing .
I typed " Looks like S&W 586 " ; I didn't type " It is the S&W 586 " .

And then I mentioned that the S&W 586 4 inch barrel model ( the real firearm ) chambers 6 rounds of .357 mag or 38 special + P rounds , and provided link to the manufacturer's website .

I never mentioned that the photograph is of none other but the S&W 586 4 inch barrel revolver .

What , in the world , is a sylender ?
I am taking the liberty of assuming that you meant "Cylinder Stop " . I am aware how a revolver functions , so thanks but no thanks for your lecture .

You are the one who is forcing your "Sylender stop falling back " theory down my throat , and then telling me not to go deep ?
Interesting .. Interesting indeed ....

I would suggest that the caliber of that revolver is .177 (bb/pellet) or 6.0mm (airsoft).

Bond, with XL-target backing me I think there is little point looking for help to trace the caliber of this wheel gun... :wink:
