While scrolling through Gunbroker looking for interesting things I chanced upon this ad for a Martini Henry converted to a handgun. The seller believes it's still chambered for .303 British and is a "Khyber Pass" conversion. If you're interested, here's the link to the auction:

Neat horrible gun. It would be no worse to shoot than a Contender in 7.62. Well, except it might detonate in hand...still I find these fascinating in their horrible appearance and outlandish patent infringements. I still think a collection isn't complete without these horrors...I don't think they're worth much monetarily.
A lot of fun....to look at.
I'd shoot it! I'd probably make a few special rounds for it that wouldn't be nearly as effective as what I'd normally shoot out of the Enfields, but it would be a hoot.
