So I’m not sure why, but I thought this was going to be much smaller, like close to the the size of a derringer, but it’s actually quite large and heavy. Very heavy. The barrel actually rotates with the pull of of the trigger. Looks almost like a mini gatling gun. So while the size surprised me, I’m still quite happy with it. Will look great as part of a steampunk ensemble.
