WildeyThe .475 Wildey Magnum is a semi-automatic pistol. The pistol has a gas system that makes it possible to regulate the gas pressure so that it can accommodate different cartridge loadings. Action: The .475 Wildey Magnum was purposefully designed to be a hunting firearm, and is built heavier than most handguns which enables it to handle breech pressures over 48,000 psi. The body is made out of stainless steel that comes in two models; the Survivor or the Hunter. The only difference between these models is the finish, where the Hunter has a matte finish and the Survivor has a satin finish. The gun has an adjustable gas-operated system. The adjustable nature of the weapon makes it possible to fire different sized loads by adjusting the gas pressure. Calibers available are .44 Auto Mag, .45 Winchester Magnum, .45 Wildey Magnum and .475 Wildey Magnum. The Wildey has a range of barrel options, as it is interchangeable via a chuck. Wildeys factory barrels run from 5", 6", 7", 8", 10", 12", 14" up to a 18" barrel. According to Wildey F.A Inc., the most popular barrel length is the 10" that appeared in Death Wish 3. Variations:
* The basic Wildey pistol has a 5" barrel as factory standard.
* The second is the Pin Gun, which is used for bowling pin shooting or similar sports by adding a 2" muzzle brake to a 5" or 6" barrel.
* The third is the Silhouette. The 18" Silhouette barrel has a wooden foregrip, is made from American walnut, and has provisions for a telescopic sight that can be mounted on the ventilated ribbed barrel by the factory or a gunsmith.
* By adding a buttstock, also of American walnut, to the Silhouette, a the fourth combination is possible called the Carbine, transforming the pistol into a carbine.
All the Wildeys have adjustable rear sights and removable front side blade inserts (high and low). The front side blades are interchangeable and available in three colors; red, orange, and black. Special tools are not required to dissasemble or reassemble any of the Wildey's four configurations. Max uses the Wildey Survivor (5" barrel with 2" muzzel brake) in .475 Wildey when he wants to "Feel better" about what is bothering him. |
