I like Knuckleduster but the size of that gun is a bit much. |

I was thinking the same thing. |

I understand the cards (these are 3D printed before masters and anything resembling real poker cards wouldn't likely make it). Regarding the gun, it's actually completely reasonable. There were some monstrous revolvers, and even the smaller calibre one occasionally came in 6-8" barrel lengths. If you take the Colt Walker for instance, it was something around 2.5 lbs., and almost comically large:
Now they seem to be overly popular in movies (probably because they look vicious) but I don't know how popular they really were. Even large ex-service conversions were not small guns. Service revolvers stemming from around the Civil War era:
The Old West is one of the few lines of miniatures that can actually get away with some "miniature" sized weapons. Conversely, Knuckleduster's winchesters are far more accurate than most others (my miniature below)
