Wildey Hunter

The Wildey is an American handgun designed by Wildey J. Moore. Purpose-built as a hunting handgun, the Wildey is large, heavy, and specifically engineered to withstand the pressures of large-caliber wildcat cartridges. The handgun employs a unique short-stroke gas system and an adjustable gas regulator, which allows the user to tune the amount of gas entering the gun for different loads. The gas system could also be completely shut off, essentially turning the Wildey into a straight-pull bolt action pistol that needs to be manually cycled after each shot. The high weight, coupled with the gas system, allows for surprisingly soft felt recoil, with the recoil of a .45 Winchester Magnum round fired through a Wildey reportedly being less than that of a .357 Magnum round. 
The handgun uses a frame inspired by that of the M1911, with one of its key features also being the wide array of interchangeable barrels offered in a variety of lengths and calibers. Barrels of 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) all the way up to 18 inches (45.7 centimeters) have been offered. The Wildey was originally offered in two variants: the Hunter and Survivor. The Hunter has a matte finish, while the Survivor has a bright stainless steel finish. Both models had Guardsman subvariants, which have squared-off trigger guards. 
The Wildey was designed in 1973 and first produced in 1980 and produced until 2011 by various companies named after its inventor. In 2015, USA Firearms Corporation of Winsted, Connecticut, USA bought the rights to the pistol, and began producing new Wildey Survivor models in 2016, with small batches of Wildeys currently being produced by the company, along with spare parts. It is currently available in 8, 10, and 12 inch barrel lengths.
