This is a Pachmayr Dominator.
It is an old school specialty pistol from the 80s.
It was customized by Chris Rhodes of Bayside Custom Gunworks. He has just recently moved to Newcastle, Wyoming.
When I got my Dominator, he fell in love with the concept and had to have one for himself....He now has a 357 Bain & Davis Dominator.
Mine has a 15" barrel, 1-8 Twist.
I will be starting load development with Hybrid 100V and 140 A-Max's.

That looks like a lot of fun. Do you set (retract) the firing pin when you lock the bolt or is it free floating and driven from below?

Free floating.

its free floating with a rebound spring....like a mini version of a 1911 firing pin system...comes out easy with its own 1911 style firing pin stop.

Real well designed for the machine and casting abilities of its day

i actually think its the most practical field shooting SP....handles like a long barreled hunting revolver...

Its main limitation is the but of the gun is so thin it digs into whatever rear bag you use causing some stringing vertical. You could add a base plate but that would take away from the package I think

Im making consistent hits at 300 yards with mine in 357/44 and the velocity edges out the max a bit.
