Additional Comments: A snub barreled, heavy framed revolver. It can fire both .38 Special as well as .357 Magnum ammunition (E-Factor = 8 with .38 special). The short barrel on this weapon allows it to be more easily concealed.
Revolvers also allow for other types of cartridges such as snake shot. Revolvers are not something easily silenced, due to the combustion of the propellants in the cylinder and the slight (.002-.005) gap between the cylinder and the barrel allowing a small release of gases.
There are revolver designs that lend themselves to making a silenced revolver such as a Nagant, this is not one of those designs.
