Had the early Dan Wesson 357, 4 barrels 2 grips nice case but saw more use being played with in the living room then the range.
These look nice, If Mr. Taffin says they are good that’s good enough for me, but if I need to change calibers, I really just need another gun!

For me this would be something I would just change at home. I have upon occasion taken my 6"22lr and my hunting revolver both on hunting excursions then depending upon my mood or the weather . Would either hunt small game or large game. To have the convenience of 4 calibers in one revolver is rather sweet it really is like a TC type capability to swap barrels and cylinders and then just go.
I never really found a need for .357 in the hunting world . I had a .357 once shot at a nice 7 pointer . I aint sure but believe he just laughed at me caught the last one in his teeth spit it out and ran off. …lol okay I am embellishing … but it had no range and produced nothing . 44 and 45. Yep killed me some deer with those. 44mag. I liked better for hunting . .454 and .460 even better . My current hunting revolver is a .460 so I can technically shoot 3 calibers from the same gun. .45,.454,.460 so truly I have what I always wanted but I sure did think this was neat.

Technically wouldn’t 45acp in moonclips be the 4th round the 460 can shoot?

Moonclips need a special cut cylinder. Need to send it in to a shop or do it yourself on a lathe. They do sell moonclips for X frames so it’s not unheard of. But why?

Don’t forget the Schofield
firearms that fire .460 S&W are usually capable of firing the less powerful .454 Casull, .45 Colt, and .45 Schofield rounds
So 5 if you had the cylinder spun for moonclips.

That is right I was just reading that … maybe from you @albroswift and I was unawares of the .45 schofield working in the 460 cylinder. I dont think I really had the knowledge that the .45 schoefield was rimmed

45 auto rim would work w/o moon clips.

Im always the guy who errs on the side of caution.
Scariest thing that ever happened to me was using my .454 and pulled up on a deer and pop…yeah pop not Capow !!! Well,I watched the deer run off and I knew I was deadnuts. Immediately I knew something wasn’t right.
I flipped the cylinder open pulled the casing and bullet was gone and there was a bunch of excess powder … i ejected all the rounds out and then held the revolver up to the sky and trued to look down the barrel sure enough. It was a squib load.
Now I had never experienced a squib before and the only reason I didnt pull the trigger again was because of knowledgeable people like @albroswift and many other from the old sixguns site and other places talking about squibs. I had to drive 45 minutes back to my house and hunt up a fiberglass tent rod and I gently tapped out the cast bullet. Needless to say the days hunt was shot. What had happened as far as I can tell was a couple days earlier it came a pouring rain. I hadnt used any sealer on the primers and I was carrying the rounds in my gun belt so they was exposed.Can you imagine cracking a hot .454 load into a squib… would have been a disaster. I unloaded the rest of those rounds considering all of them tainted.
