Thank you for the welcome rider! A 14mm calibre revolver, that would be around .55"? Never heard of one of those, not to say one doesn't exist (there are even some one off pistols available chambered for monster rounds like the .600 nitro
, not that I'd recommend shooting one to anyone)... but could you be talking about the .455 Webley or maybe one of the .45 or .44 calibres? BTW - the .455 revolver is in the PB list (see the following thread under the legal section of the knowledge base -
Indians For Guns - Prohibited Bore calibres & firearms )... getting a license for a PB calibre firearm can be a bit of a fight as they can only be issued by the MHA, Govt. of India.
But why wait to get the gun transferred... in the meanwhile get yourself a decent .22 cal rifle for casual shooting/ target practice ASAP! The one made by IOFB can be had from a dealer for approx 30k and compared to the frighteningly expensive prices of guns & ammo in India - I'd call it an absolute bargain! Of course much better made .22 rifles can be had overseas for less than $200, but we simply gotta make do with what we have here
Cheers!
