Yes, but his website doesn’t advertise the new LBR yet.

I believe ( correct me if I’m wrong) they were on the Oceania defence stand? So may be worth contacting them as well.

I handled one. The trigger is awful.
I believe a trigger spring kit is available.
Which for £1500 should be fitted as standard.
Its extremely light - weighs the same as a 4inch 686 apparently.
It could easily be fired one handed.
Fair play to him making the effort and taking a risk.
I will wait a year until a few have hit the market.

I dont think Richard has every claimed them to be a "Wilson" .

I believe he has just worked with the boss of Chiappa to bring a totally legal section 1 long barrel revolver to the market in the UK .

At least he is trying to do something , unlike the fools who are only thinking of themselves by importing dodgy converted section 5 guns into the country.

Same could be said for slating those who try to do something different by bribing in new variations to the U.K. market.

I’m all for new models on the market.

And just for clarification the first post is a cut and paste from his website. Also mentions the Wilson match version...
