Gun Porn - Uberti Bisley Revolver

Tonight's Gun Porn is my Uberti Bisley revolver.
The Bisley revolver was originally designed and manufactured by Colt for a target shooting competition in Bisley, England (hence, the Bisley model name).

The frame is based on Colt's Single-Action Army revolver, with a slightly larger frame, a hammer flush with the top of the gun, and a distinctive grip, suited for target shooting.

My revolver, manufactured by Uberti (an Italian company known for it's cowboy gun replicas), has a case-hardened frame, 5-1/2" barrel, and is chambered in .45 Colt (think cowboy rounds).

This particular gun is a hoot to shoot. It doesn't poke holes in paper, as much as it punches holes in it with a Chuck Norris fist. The heft of the gun mitigates a lot of the recoil, and it almost feels like the gun wants to move forward, as opposed to backward, with every pull of it's hair-trigger.

The Gun Porn image itself is with spent casings (from my first time shooting my baby) on a Detroit Lions towel, gifted from friends in Arizona. The picture was taken with my cell phone.
