Yes, it's real.



"Steyr Mannlicher M1894 - This earliest Mannlicher pistol was designed to be self loading and to use a special rimmed cartridge in 6.5mm caliber. The design represented an entirely new utilization of mechanical principles in automatic action called "blow-forward action". In the standard type of automatic action for low powered cartridges, the recoil (or blow-back) is utilized to drive back a moveable breech face or block, Mannlicher utilized the principle of a rigid standing breech with the barrel blowing forward to extract, eject, and prepare for reloading. The blow-forward principle is unique and has been utilized in very few firearms. This is a very rare gun as it has an attachment for a shoulder stock. "

God Save you, but your hand would take a beating with a bore axis that far above the web of your palm.

Steyr designed some weird, weird guns. They still do.

Also, I think alot of Browning's pistols before the 1911 look strange to say the least...But I think they're still pretty cool...but it's just neat to see how his designs kept evolving before he finally perfected the pistol with the 1911 and (later) the Hi-Power


(Colt M1900 I believe...)

Try the Webley-Foster Self-Cocking Revolver:



A highly unusual example of an "Automatic Revolver", the Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver was produced between 1900 and 1915, and available in both a six-shot .455 Webley version, and an eight-shot .38 ACP (not to be confused with .380 ACP) version. Unusual for a revolver, the Webley-Fosbery had a safety catch, and the light trigger pull, solid design, and reputation for accuracy ensured that the Webley-Fosbery remained popular with target shooters long after production had finished.

Yup, they're real. Come chambered in .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .454 Casull. 4", 6", and 8" barrels that you can easily swap out on your revolver to alter the length depending on what you want to use it for. They also come in a carbine, which is just the revolver with a butt stock and a 16" barrel with a foregrip.

They're really hard to find though, and cost about a grand, minimum. Gunbroker usually has one or two for sale.

You are correct, but I'm nitpicking:

Browning did not perfect the Hi-Power, nor did he complete it's design.

I've never seen the show.  Only saw the movie.  It doesn't give any info other than the name and the fact that it's a revolver.  I did notice that the barrel lined up with the bottom of the cylinder rather than the top.  I thought it was a neat-looking design, but I thought it was invented for the movie or comic series.
