Obviously an Ayn Rand fan. He had me going for a minute.
I actually like the idea of chamber inserts for shooting .22lr in a bigger revolver, but there are too many other details to work out.

I'm confused. Period. Completely. Unequivocally. Confused.
...as I look at a Ruger MkII/M92 .357 lever gun combo....OR, a 686, Ruger 10/22 combo...

That could have been written by Dave Barry!
I especially liked Ruger's Executive Director of New Things that Are Hard to Explain and Purveyor of Memorable Catch Phrases. His name is Benny Hill.

Such a design is possible, no matter how ridiculous it looks. Ever see one of those double-barreled .45 automatics? I thought it was a joke until I actually saw and held one. I think this thing is no more strange than one of those weird Rhino revolvers.

I like coventional. Two six shot revolvers would work quite nicely, thank you.

This quote should give you a hint
"Finally, we can talk about this product!. Three months ago, six of us in the press had pillow cases dropped over our respective heads, we were stuffed into the back of a 2006 Ford Escape and spirited away to a Denny's backroom in downtown Passaic, NJ. Once there, Marque Civière briefed us, put on a Swuck slide show presentation, did some bird imitations, then cabbage patched and moon walked while extolling the virtues of the Swuck. We were then held captive until we pinky swore that we would each tell no more than 1,500 of our closest friends about the Swuck before its official release."

I'm holding out for the blued version with polymer frame and useless lock that's coming out March 31, 2016, barring any one day delays.

The more I look at it, the more I think I need this revolver. But I'll wait until they release a 3 caliber/3 barrel version.

Hello, welcome to the Twilight Zone. Now a word from our sponsor.
Shoot I was already gonna call Keith to make up a holster. 271 oz? Now I need a wheel borrow. May they can use aluminum.

357/41 mag... is that a .41 mag case bottlenecked down to .357, like a .357 Sig?
Sorry, thought I'd be just as silly as that Ruger.

If gun makers can produce the Desert Eagle and the Judge, why not this?
I'll skip this Ruger offering though, as it has no folding bayonet.

When my kids were 3 or 4 years old, they would believe absolutely anything they were told with a straight face, no matter how obviously, outrageously absurd. It is amazing to me how many people evidently never outgrow that stage...

Seriously? This is the result of too much time on their hands and vivid imaginations run amok. I have to hand it to Ruger, they discovered how to make the ugliest D/A revolvers on the planet even worse.

The article was hilarious, but the funniest part of this thread are the guys who didn't actually read the article, and think this is real!
