I couldn’t believe it, but it’s sadly true. A j-frame sized, chiappa style, 3 shot (yes, 3) .38 revolver being brought to market by Century Arms International.

I have no words to explain how stupid this is.
They are preparing for the next legislative sessions in NY and CT, LOL.
Worst BUG ever. Low cylinder gap to make fingers not work & 3 shots…awesome.
I guess I can understand the intention - making a revolver thin, J’s are small but somewhat wide - but I wouldn’t sacrifice capacity for what is nearly a non-issue in terms of concealment.
Another stupid idea from CF…
Ughhh… my head hurts from the stupidity. They should have make one capable of firing 410 gauge shot shells while they’re at it. That way they can poach sales from the poorly informed who buy a Judge or Governor.
Other that having one more shot I don’t see the advantage of this revolver over a derringer.
No doubt if they did the advertising departments would spin it as 9 projectiles (3x 00 pellets).
Damn. Smh
-BTO-
Well it makes more sense than the Heizer single shot .45 I saw in another magazine last week. Still pretty damn stupid, but three is better than one and likely cheaper too. 16 is better than both though. Will give them credit for doing something different though, even if it was pointless.
The shooter will be able to use a speed strip twice

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
It’s the backup gun for the guy that carries a Judge.
(/end thread)
I want this. In 20 years I can make a youtube video about how awesomely stupid this is over at Forgotten Weapons.
What about a .223 single-shot pistol?
It DOES come in .410, you’ll be pleased to know.

Well on the up side, at least the guys running AR pistols have something to point to and go, “Hey, at least our barrel is longer than the length of the round we are shooting.” I mean seriously, why!?!?!? Hell, since we already know that you are going to get the flash from hell out of that bastard, why not put a brake on it so you can deafen and blind whoever you are shooting at? At least the one in .45LC/,410 could be marketed to the crowd looking for a snake gun, that thing has literally no purpose that I can think of short of separating an idiot from his money. And with that in mind, anyone want to open up a shop to sell accessories for that thing? I am sure we could make money, and I don’t think we’d have to make it that durable since I am pretty damn certain most owners wouldn’t fire it more than 500 in their life time! :suicide2:
If this thing sells well I’m going to try to make an accessory rail for it, and a bayonet to go on the rail. Maybe make them for the Judge and Governor too.
Then I can retire a millionaire.
If you need more than three shots, then it’s a training issue. 
Seriously?
I also appears that they shortened the sight radius of a snub even more. If that is even possible.
be really surprised if they even manage to sell a few of these things.
Depending on price I’d buy one for the hell of it,no reason to be so serious with guns all the time.
I do wonder how a three shot cylinder spins though,may be lopsided as shit,maybe should have gone for four rounds.
