Picked up my two Gemini Custom Revolvers from Marc this afternoon. Couldn't be happier and truly a pair of Aces. One is a never before done V6 configuration porting on a model 60 .357 magnum.
The 60 has beveling, bead blast, action job, target crown, chamfered cylinders, V6 porting, extended firing pin, all new springs, polished hammer/trigger/pins/screws. Sports Rosewood Badger grips.
The 66 has beveling, bead blast, action job, chamfered cylinders, all new springs, and polished pins/screws. Sports Nille Custom three finger groove flush fit combat grips straight from Germany.
Both are Pre-Lock .357 Magnums.

Marc Morganti is the Man!!
Those are both Sweet Looking Revolvers & I know how smooth they are from other specimens I've encountered..

Nice specimens there Centurian77.
I'm interested in how that V6 porting shoots. Be sure and let us know.

I actually had never shot either revolver. Today when I picked them up, Marc suggested we run a few rounds through them. The V6 Hybra-Porting was my idea and I asked Marc specifically to do this. He had never done this on a J-Frame that had a pinned front sight essentially. Anyway, this porting configuration reduced .38+P's to feel like 9mm's and full house .357 magnums to feel like .40 cal at best. I rapid fired a string a full house magnums out of the little J-frame in less than two seconds and my hand barely jumped. Best part was the reduced recoil and muzzle flip- which was cut down by at least 50% or better. I was absolutely amazed.

Little recoil I would have guessed, but how loud was it? Nice looking guns.
Good luck with the new toys - Joe

WHAT DID YOU SAY? I CAN'T HEAR A THING!
Seriously, I have a couple of Mag-Na-Ported revolvers and I can feel a difference in recoil, but don't notice any more noise. Of course, I'm always using hearing protection and usually shooting outside. (My wife complains vigorously about gunfire in the house.) I notice more blast with ported rifles than handguns. This porting is much more radical than Mag-Na-Porting, so maybe there would be a noticeable difference.

Actually the recoil is cut in half with the Hybra-Porting but the noise is probably about 20% louder. I was wearing hearing protection as always though.

Doubtful, the OP hasn't signed on in almost 3 years.
