New Ruger .357/.22 revolver

I'd bet Bullseye will appreciate the engineering that went into this thing.

Interesting concept, pushing a release button to remove the barrel and flip it over to change calibers. Indexing is accomplished by internal mechanics of which barrel is inserted into the top position, which also means that the cylinder has to rotate a long way, twice as far, with each pull of the trigger over a conventional revolver. I'm sure some folks will find this set up useful but I cannot see swapping barrels in the field as a practical way to hunt with the two calibers; of course I could be wrong about this theory.

The Magdalunium and Osmium Plus should make a really tough gun......They must be why it weighs 17 pounds?

OK, I have to admit I really didn't look too close at that one when you first posted it. With some of the latest concepts to hit the market, I haven't been all that surprised by some of the wacky ideas that actually made it to production. Your second post made me look a bit closer and I see that I fell for the hoax. In the back of my mind I was going, "Why would anyone want something like that to hunt with?" That alone should have made me look a lot closer at the link. Good one!

I got through this one and was wondering what kept you from shooting .357 down to the .22 barrel until the name's John Galt and Benny Hill sunk in. Great find.

Not my find. It was on another forum, and thought a few here would enjoy it. What made it so good is that it doesn't sink in right away. I didn't think realguns did this king of thing, either.
