This revolver was originally chambered for .455 however a .45LC cylinder was used with it as the ammunition proved more convenient. The revolver was imported from the States by the vendor and never proofed in the UK. Upon submitting the revolver for sale, it was taken to be proofed where the .455 cylinder cracked and was failed. Consequently, the .45LC cylinder was fitted and the revolver proofed in this calibre.
