Okay, who's up for a special holster?

I kid you not, I found this one online, got a thread going on Darksiders Den...
The first step of becoming a good shooter is knowing which end the bullet comes out of and being on the other end.

I don't know if this thing is a real experimental or what. The crazy thing is, it looks familar for some reason...

I like it.  Comes with it's own cover-and-concealment.

That's what I was thinking, still, there were some pretty wild contraptions developed back 'in the day'.

I would not want to be standing behind, in front, to the side, above or below that contraption when it chain fired.

OK, it appears to be a highly modified James Harper transitional revolver. Could be Steampunk, but, due to the rarity of the pistol, I kind of doubt it.

I just put this on the Darksiders thread, but, from what I have been able to find out, it may have been made by a gent named Joseph Enouy. He made several so-called Ferris Wheel pistols. As I said, it looks to have been made from a James Harper transitional revolver.

It looks like a manufacturer's demo-piece likely featured at a tradeshow of the period. Not at all practical to carry but a nice way to show the dynamics of ones manufacturing abilities.

Looks like a Pettingill Army on steroids.....with extra cylinders.

You'd need a crew of three or four to reload the thing.
