Woohoo! They just keep coming. These are some awesome prototypes Will. I used this pistol on the game Gun and it's pretty bad. (In a good way;) )

True, But when you consider that this appears as big or bigger than the Minifig's arm one wonders about the scale.

I really can't say weather I like this one or hate it. It's a shame I couldn't attend, this is one of those things that, despite the picture, I'd rather see and compare for myself. Maybe if somebody could show it with some of BA's other weapons for comparison? Maybe the 1911 or other standard-ish pistol, the auto 9, and an smg, say the mp5 or mp7. It doesn't need compared to all of the guns of course, but some comparisons would be nice.

It's perfectly in scale with other BA pistols.

Real life sizes:
Colt Navy 1851: 14 inches
Auto-9: ~12 inches
SW500 (w/6.5"" barrel - what I think the BA SW500 is based on): 12 7/8"

Like we've said, the real-life Colt Navy is an absolute monster! Still, the BA Colt Navy fits the minifig just fine. It is large, but not so big it's oversized.

That I can do!

Do you think you could add some ridges or bullet slots (whatever they're called) to the revolving part of it? I think it would look better.

This is going to be perfect for westerns and some civil war vigs. Can't wait to get my hands on one.

As in a pistol's pack? I don't know if Will is planning this again, but I can tell you that the 1917 is about as big as the M1911.

When and if it is released i will make a bunker so that i will never lose it, there will be at least 20 BA armed guards around and inside it for security. Can't take any chances.

No. The real-life Colt Navy has a smooth cylinder:

The same applies to the 1851 model of the Colt Navy Revolver as well:



Besides, smooth chambers mean a nice, tight grip point!

Oh my....

Will is one after my own heart. Favorite handgun in the world. I stopped in to see what was new (I've got a very busy schedule recently) and see this beauty.

If this reaches production I swear at least 50 will be to my name. not to try and get it there, just to show how much I love this gun and love this design.

MAGNIFICENT!
