Agreed. Looks pretty neat.This Ruger Lipsey's Exclusive Single Seven .327 Federal Birdshead with 3.75" barrel looks pretty interesting:

These are the last two revolvers I own. Won't get rid of either of them. The Nagant revolver is a great shooter.

I've only seen one 500...and held one round-the owner told us he pays $5 per round...do you reload?
What does that ammo with the Nagant go to?
That is Nagant revolver ammo, 7.62 if memory serves.
The case extendeds past the bullet. When fired, the cylinder moves forward and the case seals against the barrel. They are the only revolver that is truly suppressable but have a horrible trigger pull because of the moving cylinder.

Oooooo.......nice.
Will try to post a pic of my SAA this evening after work.

I noticed something not quite right-the cylinder's nowhere nearly as long as the case of the ammo...how does that happen? Seems the forcing cone would stop rotation...or is the pic deceiving?
Interesting history on WIKI...

Watched Hickock 45's video-it is different...the pic must be distorted because measuring the ammo it's a lot longer than the cylinder...would protrude from the face of the cylinder. I've seen these but never touched one...totally different from the American way of thinking.

Yeah it's a double action but the hell with using it like that. Feels like a 20 pound trigger pull but is one of the best suppressed if you go that route. I've had it forever, I love 7.62x38, clean shooter when shooting single action style. The .500 I've put about 75 rounds through it since owning it over 4 years now. I take it out every so often and clear the pistol range with it.
The cylinder doesn't pop out like most either, you slip the latch down and load one at a time. I took the picture at an angle, probably why it looks a bit weird but it fits nice and snug once the cylinder goes forward.

You're darn right wheel guns live on.

Love the 1875 and the revolving rifle. A member here was selling a pair of those years back for a good price. Make me regret not picking one up.

Even better than that, there was the AirLiteTi before the AirLiteSc.Nope. The AirLite is the scandium framed option that's even lighter than the Airweight.
Drooooool.
Mine is a S&W Model 337 AirLiteTi. Smith only made them for a short time before switching to the Scandium version. Here's a thread on them: http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-revolvers-1980-present/250721-337-airlite-ti.html
Here's two of my snubbies. The 337 is on the left . . .
Is there a large weight difference?
The AirWeight Model 642 weighs 14.4oz and the AirLiteTi weighs under 11oz. Rumored to be the lightest .38 revolver Smith ever made. It definitely spanks the hand and is rated for +P.
Today was S&W love.
Something Old School and something newer.
Ooo, nice play pretties.
