Gila Revolver Set

Last year I designed my first ever revolver after getting inspired by a quick doodle I made in my sketchbook. It entirely snowballed from there and I ended up making several different versions of it including a long barrel variant, long and carbine length rifles and an engraved duel pistol set.

I thought it would be nice to post them all at once, even numbering them so it’s easy to share which one is your favorite.

Gila is a striker-fired, break open, 8 round revolver with integrated top rail and flash hider. It’s fully ambidextrous, with the striker in the center top of the revolver, and the opening latch and cross-bolt safety on both sides. The cylinder is made of a magnesium alloy; making it as light as aluminum but as strong as titanium alloys, which have been used for the body. Since the cylinder is so light, it’s viable to use them as magazines.

Specialty versions are sold in limited numbers. Nicknamed “Helos” and “Derma”, these finely engraved matching luxury revolvers can be purchased separately or in a dueling pistol styled box. Derma is black, with golden inlays and engravings, sporting a gorgeously crafted wooden grip. Helos is the opposite, being a silver revolver with black and gold engravings, rocking a shiny pearl grip. Included in the box are two spare cylinders and a cleaning kit.
