It’s a neat concept, flopped for the most part 1880-90

Then again 100 years later. But it’s fun working with it, making it work. Africa or India in 1880 it had wonderful utility in a handy package. Shooting game with shot shells out of a gun marked as centerfire revolver would be a lengthy discussion with the game Warden. Ditto the old TC Hot Shots. Illegal to use on game in many seasons. You could get away with the .410 out of the .45 Colt, provided you had NO .45 Colt cartridges on your person or in the truck. Usually! Depends on how the Ranger’s mood is.

But the .45 Paradox is plenty powerful for game and hogs, 300 gr. (.44 out the tube) at 1200 fps.
