45 Colt - .452…. 45-70 - .458 200 gr vs 400. God only knows what the powder charge may have been…. How big a hammer did he use to chamber the thing? Dude’s lucky he’s even still alive.

The 45-70 is a larger diameter, and normally wont fit. Most likely a 444

Neat-O hand grenade. I am not too happy with the "Pull Trigger to Detonate" mechanism.

Hey! It fits, lets shoot it......................BOOOM!

I am sure there was alcohol involved.

A would be Darwin Award candidate....sadly modern medicine keeps too many of these morons alive to pass along their defective genes.

Someone at work asked "How the hell did they get it in?", someone else's comment was "Well, it's a Taurus."

I found a write up from the range and range officer where it happened. The pistol was modified to accept 45-70, but the owner (who purchased it from a pawn shop) decided to try +P Buffalo Bore rounds.
