Hmm yes i saw this too, and as they're now in BLACK i could be tempted too . . .

BTW what justification do you have to give for a 2nd cylinder, it was my understanding that once TPTB got wind of these as a 'get around the legislation' gun the police were instructed never to allow spares? emrolleyes

A member in my club is waiting on his Taurus LBR being converted to a Nitro ML and Alan has told him the at once he has done all o/s Taurus conversions he will only then supply Armscor revolvers. He requested an extra cylinder which was granted without question.

PP1 (or whatever we call it nowadays ) 12 rounds in 2 minutes? Would seem like a sound justification.

Re: Spare Cylinders http://www.acpo.police.uk/documents/cri ... WGMins.pdf
Spare Cylinders
Members considered an issue that has arisen with regard to muzzle loading
revolvers and variations to possess spare cylinders for courses of fire that the
National Rifle Association have now approved, which require 6 or 7 spare
cylinders to shoot within the specified time frame.

Does that mean that at least the Police will consider a reasoned arguement for 5 cylinders for a PP1?

I'm now TOTALLY sold. On this little revolver! I will be swapping my 308 slot for one in due course.

Obviously, we are never going to replicate PP1 etc. with these revolvers but a course of fire using 6-round stages could easily be built up around them if there is enough interest.

If you want more cylinders, then 'good reason' should be the only requirement.
