   The PHOTOS look like a typical DOUBLE-action
   revolver in .357 ... kinda like the large-
   frame S&Ws or Dan Wessons.

   The Turks import, sometimes make, a large variety
   of firearms. Quality is reportedly pretty good.

   Now, the kinda FUNNY bit ... Erdogan gave all the
   NATO people the revolvers - but a number of EU
   countries are SO against people, including pols,
   having guns that they'll probably be confiscated.
   Power MUST be reserved for the almighty State only !
   It's your civic DUTY to die horribly and leave it
   to the State to maybe/possibly deal with it later.

   Trump ... hope he CARRIES the damned thing because
   the Iranians and their lackeys ARE out to get him.

   As for .357 revolvers ... good choice. Plenty
   strong enough but without the .44-Mag+ level
   recoil. Rec a 4.5 to 5" barrel for improved
   sighting/pointing and maybe 140gr JHPs instead
   of the traditional 158gr bullets. Some of the
   Ruger "Security Six" models are a great pattern.

   .38 Spl +P ... kinda OK, but still kinda 19th
   century. The old standard USA 'police revolvers'
   by S&W in .38 really weren't so bad for defense.
   This was before the "spray and pray" era.

   UK ... the .38 S&W would also get it done, but
   the really heavy bullets couldn't penetrate
   very much. DO like the old break-top Webley
   revolvers - ugly tough and functional.

   Still love that scene from the first "Indiana"
   movie where the Islamist assassin puts on a big
   display with his sword ... then the protagonist
   just produces his .455 Webley and plugs him  :-)

   Did encounter a .455 Webley revolver, WW-II
   vintage. Alas someone had cut back the cylinder
   so it'd take .45 ACP with moon clips or .45 Rim.
   Not ideal. The ACP has more taper, thus the bullet
   is kinda unstable on launch. Maybe OK for very
   close range 'defense' but you're not gonna do
   target work with the thing.

   Yea yea ... in the 70s my hobby was guns - then
   replaced by PCs and then expensive cameras and
   motorcycles and electronics and  ........ :-)
