LeMat Revolver

Any of y'all know of a modern day LeMat style revolver that shoots smokeless powder/modern cartridges? The closest I can think of would be the Judge and it's copycats, but I don't know of one that has the two barrels like the LeMat. I was thinking that style gun would make a great bedside gun.
Maybe something chambered in 357/410 to keep the size down. But the 45/410 makes sense too.
Thoughts?

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

IMHO, you would be better off with one of the new KelTec CP 33's rimfires. Put a Laser on it, for any o dark 30 scenario. And it would be 10 times better, than any Judge that holds only 5 rounds. Mine loves Aguila Interceptors. Which is one of their hotter loads. 40 grain bullet @ 1200 FPS, from a 5 1/2" barrel.
I've got about 500 rounds, through my recently acquired CP 33. Only 1 fail to feed so far. That was with shooting CCI Stingers.The only fly in the ointment. Is that the mags, are very fussy and ammo sensitive. Prefer round nose ammo, with a over all length around .980.
Howdah's also cool. Like Douglas in "The Ghost and the Darkness".
Bump the size up any larger than 32 g (which is .50 caliber) you MAY have an NFA firearm. You just passed the magical half inch. Any larger, be prepared to show a "sporting purpose"- otherwise the ATF says it is a "Destructive Device", or possibly an AOW.
The original (and repro) Lemats get around this by not being firearms. Since they use loose powder and ball, and are caplocks, they are legally Antique Firearms, not subject to the NFA.
