Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this .38 Special revolver unique?

This .38 Special revolver is unique due to its custom DIY enamel/nail polish finish, a missing front sight, and its previous life as an 'evidence locker gun' seized from a criminal before being sold legally.

How was the modified .38 Special revolver tested?

The revolver was tested at an outdoor shooting range using CCI .38 Special birdshot ammunition. The host fired at clay pigeons to assess the effectiveness of the birdshot load from the sightless handgun.

What were the results of testing the 'shotgun revolver'?

Testing showed that the birdshot pellets created small holes in the clay pigeons but lacked sufficient velocity to shatter them. The host concluded the firearm had limited practical use due to its condition and modifications.

Can a revolver be used like a shotgun?

While not a true shotgun, a handgun like this .38 Special can be fired with birdshot ammunition at very close range. This turns it into a rudimentary, short-range scattergun, but it lacks the power and range of a dedicated shotgun.
