Anybody know about or have fired this puppy? It is a five shot double/single action revolver with a 2" bbl. It is chambered for the .410 and the .45 long colt. thunder5.com. Thanks.

    Sure. We were just talking about it on the threads below pertaining to "scatter," or shellshot spread at indoor ranges. See those threads below, and check their site at http://www.thunder5.com/.

    Yeah, it looks pretty cool. I first searched for it after
    seeing it in the movie "Three Kings" with George Clooney.
    I have a thing for long cylandered revolvers!
    It doesn't appear to be CA legal, much to my dismay.

    I have a Thunder Five, the original one made by MIL.

    It's a great gun --- I keep it for home protection, have it cross loaded with .410 buckshot and .45LC.

    It's pretty heavy, tried carrying it for awhile -- couldn't find a holster for it, so I made a couple; one belt mounted and one inside pants holster.

    All in all, after shooting the thing -- it thunders!

    At the CHL range, I blew very large holes in the target at 30 feet.
