I like that it looks inspired by old revolvers with the loading lever under the barrel. Particularly the 1851 Colt Navy.
Which is fitting. He is modeled after Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. And the 1851 is the revolver used most heavily in that film, and the one used anytime he actually fires his revolver.

I'm thinking maybe a heavily modified Colt Paterson with loading lever:
With new cylinder, blunderbuss end, and new grips. The flare at the end of the metal there between the grips seem to match. But the best indicator is the missing trigger guard.

Does it not have a trigger? Or had it been removed from this one?

The way I understand how that works is that it pops out when you pull the hammer back.
Ooooh fancy

And extremely dangerous. Haha
Yeah well, there’s a reason that design hasn’t caught on haha
First I’ve ever saw of that! Wicked cool

Yeah it had a folding trigger, stowed out of the way until the gun was ******. There were other subsequent pistols that have had this feature over the years but the Colt Paterson is significant because it was the first cartridge revolver ever offered. I will say it's a bit too on the nose for me for him to literally use a revolver inspired blaster (we get it, he's cowboy themed lol) but it's cool nevertheless that they chose the Colt Paterson as the base, if that's what it is.
Kind of cool to see the character live action... I really hope he'll have a part in episode 7. He may not though, like so many things they might just be setting him up for a future appearance somewhere else.
I mean they set up Boba Fett and Cobb Vanth in S1 of Mando and didn’t mention them again until much later. Clearly they are still making long term plays here

Of course, too slow to fire for our character. You gotta have a "normal" trigger to shoot fast
googling now, thank you!

Yeah, the more I look at it, the more it looks like an 1851 without a trigger guard. But I think it looks like a scratch build that is modeled after an 1851 Navy.
i agree with ya, i really like it. i imagine he has a duplicate on the other leg..
did you notice the scope being like hollow? you could see right threw it
