In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at IWA visiting Alfa Proj to discuss their unusual and kinda sexy suppressable revolver carbines.

According to Alfa Proj's description of this revolver:
"Reliability, resistance and simple handling of the revolver system in a long gun version. This arm offers a higher output and thanks to the precise barrel three times longer effective range compared to short guns. The revolver system provides for better promptness and readiness of the arm to fire due to primarily the automatic drop safety and double action trigger mechanism. Thus, the hunter obtains six quickly handy and reliable shots without safety restrictions for carrying. Low weight and compact size determine the carbine usage for hunting in dense forest and bush areas that require easily handled weapon under difficult environment. The ideal choice for certain situations such as shot-up game tracking in heavy terrain. Also sport shooters who enjoy charm and classical features of revolver systems will appreciate precision and revolver-identical control together with better accuracy at long range."

    Maybe it's because I am an uncultured American, but I really dig the vibe at this show. "Here's a guy in a suit speaking a second language almost perfectly with a 9mm revolver with a 16.5 inch barrel. It also has a suppressor because reasons." I'm here for it.
  • @PhycoKrusk
    Revolver rifles have this appeal to them that really can't be replicated by anything else.
  • @stephens2241
    Alfa Proj carbines in 357 are very popular here in the UK. A few smiths cut the stock down and attach a "pistol brace" (not the same as what that means in the USA). With a 12" barrel it's the closest we can get to a handgun.
  • I love these revolver rifles. Regular revolvers and semi auto rifles are regulated in Austria, but for some reason revolver rifles aren’t regulated even tough they essentially can fire one shot per trigger pull just like any semi auto rifle can. So they are a nice way to get semi auto functionality without using up spaces on your license (which are limited and restrict the amount of semi auto guns you can own). However it’s kinda sad that they don’t produce any rifle caliber revolver rifles and it’s especially sad that this revolver rifle doesn’t lock up like the nagant revolver to allow it to be as silent as possible when using it in combination with a suppressor.
  • @cokfarm1339
    Man I hope RIA starts selling them here in the states!
  • @xInsane333x
    It would be cool to see a gas seal version similar to the Nagant M1895 chambered in 7.62x38R.
  • It's not very "tactical" but it is definitely extremely cool. I'd love to get my hands on one of these just for plinking around. The .357 one could also work well for small/medium game hunting or just a back country gun since it probably doesn't weigh anything.
  • That's freaking cool! I could definitely see a market for that here. Interchangeable cylinders for 9mm and 357 magnum and it would be very versatile.
  • @xPetyr
    Guy seems cool, pretty honest with his product.
  • @FCV0511
    I'd love to see some more info about Alfa-Proj's revolvers. Hopefully another importer picks up their entire lineup one of these days, or RIA adds more to their imported offerings. I'd love to purchase their fixed sight, 4" blued 357 model with wood grips to compare it to my S&Ws and Rugers.

    Finally we see the UK being represented on tfb, , good on ya Alfa. I love mine.
  • I've got the 357 mag with the 12" barrel (live in australia). It really is a great little gun for hunting.
  • I have an Alpha project 9mm carbine, after about a year of light use the firing pin now gets stuck in the forward position meaning the cylinder can not be opened or rotated until a cleaning rod hammers the pin back. Was good up until now, now it won't work at all. These need long sleeves, a blast sheild or both hands on the pistol grip to shoot.
  • @DrR3D
    Great, I'm as old as a Firearms manufacturer, and this gun somehow speaks to me
  • @Scumfrog74
    Oh my God I’ve never wanted a gun more in my life. I just saw my perfect deer rifle. Living in southeastern Pennsylvania I can only use straight wall cartridges and I am a sucker for a revolver
  • Would love to see those carbines here in the States, in .357 or .44 magnum. It would be a sweet hunting/ home defense gun.
  • @chrisfs150
    I have been waiting soooo long for someone to showcase this smashing little gun. Such a shame it was james.
  • i don’t think it’s something i’d buy but i’m here for it. such a cool looking gun and i’m really digging this guys vibe
