Cannon-breech Pistols
« on: January 21, 2012, 11:44:00 AM »
I'm looking for examples of cannon-breech pistols. The only one I know about is Magnum Research Lone Eagle. Does anyone know any other examples?

Having owned one in the 90's, I can confirm that is a Lone Eagle with a custom grip frame.  The original was a blocky black composite grip frame that made Glocks look trim and sexy.  I seriously wonder how I didn't blow mine up with my wild-cat .44 magnum hunting loads.  I still have about 20 hand loaded rounds here, but I'd be afraid to shoot them in any other .44 magnum pistol.
