What is the highest capacity revolver?

Dr.Chris · Sep 1, 2006

The .22 Smith and Wesson 617 has ten chambers, is that the most rounds available in a revolver?

Thanks,
Chris

I was going to say the LaMatt,9rds of .44 and a 20 ga center line shot barrel.
Vary big horse pistol.

I saw a picture of a revolver with 20 chambers in two rows. Might have been from www.a-human-right.com.

As far as presently manufactured, readily available revolvers go, the most you're going to get is 10 rimfire or 8 centerfire rounds.

That's OK, I was reaaly just looking for current production guns. Capp325 already answered me.
