That's easy enough to do, SuperMidget, just talk about rifle cartirdges. If they aren't military calibre or basically conventional, I'm clueless. I like muh handguns though =)
A S&W M-27/whatever frame could do it, likely. They overengineered that frame SO heavily that it can handle as amazing amount of abuse. Hard to believe they built it for the .357 magnum. Still, in the 80's, even during the recall (and after in some cases) gunsmiths were fond of the.... c'mon brain, work.... three-screw (?) Blackhawks (pre-passive hammer-block) for any sort of custom work. The recall, from what I remember, was to install the hammer-block and thus pointless to most shooters.
My Dad had a Super Blackhawk at that point and received a card in the mail from Ruger on the recall. He round-filed it considering it not worth his time. When he carried the gun, it was hammer down on an empty cylinder like he'd always carried it. Sadly, that old iron got stolen during a transatlantic move, and was replaced witha post-recall Super Blackhawk. Still shoots as straight, but I still say the old one's trigger was leaps and bounds better.
As to Pythons, boy those old ones were sweet. I had the chance to pick one up used for $400 in the late 80's. I turned it down as it was somewhat of a rough piece and was VERY poorly parkerized (action was crap). Nowadays, seeing the prices Pythons go for, I wish I'd bought it and restored it. Sheesh.
