Pfeifer Zeliska .600 Nitro Express revolver

The Zeliska is one of the most powerful handguns in the world, producing a muzzle energy of 4,592 foot pounds (by comparison, a 14" revolver chambered in the.500 Bushwhacker cartridge achieves approximately 10% greater power, firing a 310 grain bullet at 2,714 ft/s for 5,071 ft. Lbs. Of muzzle energy or a 400 grain bullet at 2,403 ft/s for 5,130 ft. Lbs. Of muzzle energy). The weight of the handgun helps control the recoil, making controlled shooting possible. The capacity of a Zeliska is five.600 Nitro Express or.458 Win Mag rounds. The Zeliska fires a 900 grain (58.32 g).600 Nitro Express slug at 1,516 ft/s (462 m/s, 1,663.2 km/h), compared to the 1,850-2,050 ft/s regulation level velocities typical of 28” barrel rifles chambered in the cartridge. The cost of a Zeliska revolver is $17,316. Each.600 Nitro Express round costs $40, making this gun very expensive to fire. Loading is accomplished through a loading gate located on the right of the cylinder, similar to the Colt Single Action Army, upon which the Zeliska largely is based. Added features to the gun include gold-plated hammer, cylinder pivot, action and the gold-filled inscription on the gun indicating the company's address.
