Good, thanks Andrew! So yes I read that Skeleton and Dan Wesson are basically Winguns. When you say you own one you're talking about the SS, right? The Dan Wesson looks great but it's 6" max for a chrome. Their website is pretty crappy, do you know if they'll release a chrome 8"? Or is there any other 357 brands? I don't want to play, I just want to have one and maybe shoot at target in my house if the gun is not too loud.

warning! don't chrony the 8" near any RCMP officerin a bad mood! mine shot 580 out of the box, ive detuned it now, but it was restricted if im not mistaken...

To be fair that doesn't actually say you can't post links to retailers of guns or 18+ items, although that is (mostly) understood by the membership.

I can see why someone new might not see that.

The rule could be updated to specify, "...guns or 18+ items for sale, retailers of same or looking for in Signatures..."

Just sayin'...

posting a link to a retailer would technically be "posting of guns or other 18+ items for sale " even if you arent the direct seller youd still be posting a for sale gun

^ This!

And for the questions?

google indicates there is an 8inch chrome wingun revolver

I mentioned Wingun above but I'm looking for something available in Canada. Every 8" chrome of the brand I said are out of stock.

The WinGun/Skeleton Sidearms/ASG Dan Wesson/maybe 2 or three other rebrands are ALL the same gun. They fire hot, but you can either perform a modification on the valve or buy power down shells. The differences between the rebrands are finish and grip quality, and available barrel lengths and styles. I own an SS357 4" and it works great, but the branding decals suck, and I had to order a better grip because the faux wood colour was coming off the grip onto my hand. I've used an ASG dan wesson before and I gotta say, the finish was impressive. Exactly the same performance, but I'd recommend that over skeleton sidearms any day. You'd do best to stay away from anything Skeleton or Lucid. They are overpriced, poorly made and if you're going to buy a clone gun, respect yourself enough to buy non clear/tinted. Better stuff in canada is easy to find. Just don't ask here.

You could email one of the retailers to ask if they can get you an 8inch.

That is, if you're over 18.

580fps with .2 is hot but still under 4 joules (5.7j and 500fps being the min requirement before its considered a restricted firearm)

That wouldn't make it a firearm, thus not restricted

Got a Dan Wesson 6". After more video viewing it seemed enough... And I don't like to wait. ;)
