Help me find a revolver with my mere description

[BBq_Woa!]

Hi there.
a while back while perusing the pistol exchange section, i saw a very unique looking revolver for sale.
it was blued , had a large (bull?) round barrel, (which was wider/taller than the frame)
it also had a funny, tokerev-like cover over the sides of the hammer.

a sort of quarter circle shape where the frame extended out covering the sides of the hammer, making only the tip exposed (just like a T-33 tokerov)

other than those features i cant remember anything else.
I think it was .357,
anyway.
I found it very intruiging and am looking for a revolver to pick up
could anyone suggest what they think it may have been?

Perhaps a modified S&W Bodyguard?

Was it the thread by resourcefulscrounger "40+ handguns for sale." ?

Sounds vaguely like the Colt New Service he has for sale.

Ill check this SECOND.
BUt I've been paying special attention to the "1000 guns for sale" posts, as I assume it was in one of them.
one sec..let me see.. (in a new tab)

nope thats not it..
actually. know what I'm going to do (since I'm so obsessed with this)
I'm going to use my extreme Photoshop skills and make a fake picture of what I remember it looking like..
(ill use a real gun pic as the foundation, it will look real)

i'll post the pic in a few minutes.

here it is,
this is pretty close.
note the sides of the frame extending over the hammer , similar to a tokarev..
thanks for any suggestions.
keep in mind this is a just a photo manipulation

Sorry, guess I was off, but by your photo...I would hazard to guess you are looking for a type of PPC revolver.

My 2 cents....

are most PPC revolvers double action only?
if so I suppose I'll call off my search, as my tremor makes double action pulls really uncomfortable for me.

I got a DA/SA PPC gun. But they tune the triggers that DA are sooo nice.

Probably a PPC double action race gun you were looking at. Some aftermarket barrels have weird looking underlugs that would give it a very heavy appearence. The hammer was probably just semi-bobbed giving the appearance that it was sunk into the frame.

Maybe a Mateba?

no no
i know about the Unica..
def not.
it was far more 'normal' looking.
except for the fat barrel and the hammer shroud, it looked like anything else.
thanks though.
