Default 617 revolving

Hello everyone, I saw on the internet some revolver turned into carbines, such as the Taurus circuit judge revolving but in Italy it is not imported. So I decided to build one with my 617, the result seems good and the remarkable precision, what do you think?

That looks to be very well set up. I gather this is legal to do in Italy (having a stock on a modern handgun here without special permission here is not allowed)?

Any thoughts about putting a vertical foregrip on the barrel underlug?

I believe in the U.S. that would possibly be Illegal, as a short barreled rifle. Minimum of 16" barrel and 27" overall.

Alverman, very nice. Be sure to keep your forward hand away from the cylinder gap. Even though it's only a .22 LR the jet of hot gases and tiny particles can still injure.

One technique which might interest you is what's called the "Taco Hold". It works really well with low recoiling pistols and revolvers. You use the forward hand to grab the scope and pull the pistol back closer to your body - thereby helping to stabilize it. Something you might want to try.

Many thanks for your answer. My technique is to hold the grips with both hands pushing the stock against his shoulder, so keep your hands away from the gap.
