I just wonder how they solved the setback problem? Shooting bottleneck rifle cartridges in a revolver always presents problems. The only exception is the .17 rimfires. Their brass is so thin it readily expands to grip the chamber walls. Centerfire cases don't and can easily tie up the gun. It's the reason the S&W .22 Jet revolver was a flop. Magnum Research is supposed to chamber their BFR Revolver in .30-30, but I've never seen one. Bill T.

I dont know how much id like the bushy pistol with no handguard. seems like it would be a little warm. I dont see how you could shoot it 1 handed like an actual pistol with a 30 round mag in it.

Those 2 dont have handguards, nothing but barrel, and gas tube

Those look like Bushmasters, and have the "Carbon 15" name, but I've never heard of "Professional Ordinance"???? Bill T.

If two handed shooting is desired, you can use a standard two handed grip, or use the magwell/magazine as a forward vertical grip.

Two-handed grip?? Do you mean a forward vertical handgrip? Installing one on a pistol is illegal. The pistol becomes an Any Other Weapon and then requires a NFA tax stamp.

BillT,

Professional Ordnance is kind I have. They are who Bushmster bought out so they could start producing the pistols. One handed shooting is quite easy and even the chicks do it!
