That is such an amazing revolver! The first picture shows the revolver in such detail that I believed it to be a regularly sized pistol using odd rounds.
The Swiss really no how to make near-perfect goods.

It is no more than a collector's piece and its MV is so low it don't even considered as a gun(it used a indegenious .177 cal round)....... given its listed price I'd rather get a PE90 plus a TP9, and I still got enough to spare for ammo........

Someone posted the FAQ they email to people a while back. You need to get an import permit to get it into Canada but it is definatly not a firearm. And it is illegal in the states for some reason.

Finally a gun worthy of shooting pop cans off my coffee table while watching tv.
I wonder if this gun is even capable of breaking skin.
I agree either way that it is an amazing example of precision craftsmanship.

Not just you... it is a computer generated CAD image.

It is no more than a collector's piece and its MV is so low it don't even considered as a gun(it used a indegenious .177 cal round)...

Actually the ammo is MUCH smaller than a .177 pellet. 2.34mm or .092"... about 1/4 the diameter of a 38 or 357 bullet. And about 1/20 the weight of a .22LR bullet at less than 2 gr.!

Ammo isn't exactly cheap... likely the most expensive ammo you have shot at about $10/round!! Not something to just plink at cans with while watching TV!

There is a master tool maker & jeweler in Montreal who has been making miniatures for decades.
He is recognized world wide for his work, I will dig up his card and post info....
I have had the pleasure of examining his 1911a1, Luger, Boomhandle etc,,,,

"Quote Teapot" The Swiss really no how to make near-perfect goods.

Agreed, A nation that once provided the Sig 210 as it's service pistol is proof of the above statement.

I saw some of those mini revolvers at the shot show, it would be nice
if we can them here for keychain ornament ..... lol ....
They were only $ 180.00 USD, was in chrome with fancy carving on it.
