Crimson Guard revolver?

I picked up the Crimson guards (25th anniv) today. They come with a revolver?

Is it one of these?

Why is Cobra arming their elite troops with single action revolvers?

Are you in the States? As much as I want to get my hands on these I actually hope they don't hit shelves very soon, I need a little holiday break from Joe spending.

so what if they have revolvers? they probably have expertise knowledge of them and are easier to have around a household. They can just say that its an heirloom and keep it in a case until needed.

Because the people at Hasbro are nimrods.

The first thing I plan on doing when I get my hands on the first batch of CGs I purchase is to see if any of Marauder Inc.'s range of pistols will fit in the Guard's leg holster. Out of the one's John has available I think his Series 4 M1911a1 is probably the best bet but I still don't know.

I am in AZ.

They were at Walmart.

I think if they can keep a modern rifle around the house, they could keep an up to date pistol.

I was just curious if there was any reference to the revolver in the comics or if Hasbro issued them because they look cool. Having a .45-70 revolver could come in handy around some of Cobra Commander's creations or Dr. Mind Benders lab experiments, but it looks more like a Richards conversion open top than a BFR.

I was (thankfully) able to pickup two Crimson Guards at retail this afternoon, and I'm in Arizona.

Sorry to those of you who wanted a break from Joe spending through the holidays, but Wave 5 is out there in select little pockets. (wink)
