So I have this Ruger LCR. It's neat, but it's kinda bland:

...Until today, because I finally got everything to turn this little guy into the future-noir cyberpunk snubby it was always meant to be:

This Neon Forest grip is really nice, it looks great, feels good, came in a left handed option, and the way they stamp the company's logo on the inside of the grip is neat:

Now I have the perfect gun to use to try to futilely defend myself as I'm stalked through an abandoned building by a crazed replicant before he saves my life at the last second and tells me about the things he's seen that I wouldn't believe.

(Those are snap caps in the cylinder by the way, the only time my guns are actually loaded is at the range.)

Look at this weird ass car I found in the new Darktide level. I love it.

Also others found Goliath trucks, commonly used by the GSC, but that is not important.

Iver Johnson out there making stuff for left handed shooters in the 1880s.

Because I’ve seen this a lot, I thought I’d throw a little bit of knowledge downrange for all y’all making quasi-period-accurate western/gunslinger OCs:

There’s a world of difference between a modern revolver and a period-appropriate model, like the Colt 1851 above- when looking for reference pics, it’s important to keep that in mind!

A modern revolver, like the colt python above, is made from finished steel and made from milled parts- you see that cut-out on the bottom of the barrel, or how the barrel and cylinder are shaped, how there are almost no visible bolts or screws? That’s because modern manufacturing techniques allow for precisely-milled metal like that!

The 1851, our first example, is mostly made from stamped, even forged steel, often lacking any sort of finish. It’s very simplistically shaped and has a lot of screws keeping everything together- people in the 1800’s didn’t really have access to modern mills or the sorts of metallurgy we do now, so that’s gonna be what you get. Old guns look old for a reason!

So remember- if you’re looking for period appropriate, non-modern revolvers, keep in mind that they’re gonna be kinda crude, made with hand tools, and simplistically shaped- if it’s made of stainless steel and has lots of small flourishes and details, it’s probably a modern one!

Russian MTs-569 (top) and MTs-570 (bottom). Civilian revolver carbines chambered for 12.7x55mm (same ammunition as the RSh-12 assault revolver - on which it is based, the VKS bullpup sniper rifle and ASh-12 assault rifle) and 9x39mm (same ammunition as the RSh-9 assault revolver, VSS Vintorez sniper rifle and AS Val assault rifle), respectively.

Note the speedloaders- the 12.7mm MTs-569 holds 5 rounds in the cylinder, while the 9mm MTs-570 holds a more traditional 6.
