Okie Dokie.

That's the original presentation case and accessories plus the grips the gun came with. I picked the gun up on NES last fall (many thanks again to the seller from Adam and I!!) The cherry grips on the 29 in the photos were entirely hand-made custom work by Joe Cummings (http://www.joecummingsstudio.com/). The whole setup was a birthday gift for Adam - I told Joe I wanted the logo on the grips and some sort of texture/checkering then sent him the originals as a template. What you see is what he came up with. Lovely work.

 

[GrendelKhan]

Wow.... That is really something. Thank you!!!

What qualifies as a hand cannon?

 

[Moderator]

What qualifies as a hand cannon?

Any gun that can withstand your Nuclear reloads.

 

[Marcus5aurelius]

What qualifies as a hand cannon?

Yea, I've been wondering the same question. Some people consider .357 mag or .45ACP in the cannon category. I'd consider anything over .44Mag as safe.

 

[Karl]

As in the nature of a cannon, I would think physical size and weight would play a factor.
