Reeder Custom Guns - .357 Maximum Singke Six

Saw this on Facebook. It is a Single Six converted to a 5 shot .357 Maximum.

The single six frame is to short for the max. You would have to cut it in half like they do hummer limousines.

Since it’s on Facebook it must be true.

But that is spooky. I'd shoot .38's in it. The fantastic thing about the Maximum, you can shoot about anything in it.

I was a bit surprised when I found my Custom Bisley single-six .40 S&W weighed about as much as a .357 NM FT model. The gripframe and other required parts are very close in heft. The cylinder and frame is just smaller/shorter, its still beefy. But that .357 Max. is over the top into the redline.

Looks to be real. I have found quite a few guns that are interesting that were built by him. Still don’t think I would want to fire that one

That's how the first 1911 longslides happened.

Have to agree with Bob

As a one-off engineering exercise, good for him.
