We’re talking about the 2nd one at the start? The lack of grooves (what is the word?) on the cylinder makes me think it’s not S&W models 500 or 460. In .500 caliber it turns up rather custom jobs, no big-name manufacturers. The shape is hard to tell, does it look like single action? But shape doesn’t always suggest function. Single action would generally suggest a less modern caliber.
I thought grooves were only a way to reduce weight and makes it easier to rotate the cylinder by hand. Overall I know of no real important reason for them.
He’s firing it in single action mode. Whether the gun itself is single action I know not.
But he is a well experienced shooter and that gun seriously barks. Watch how his right hand jerks after firing. I’d be surprised if it’s only a .44. Unless he was using some kind of hot load.
