I don't have anything to add, but I wanted to express my approval for Groinkick's proposed image.

Not really sure if there's a functional limit to what Harry can handle, recoil-wise, at least not with his Mantle still in place. Did it come up in Skin Game? I can't remember.

So Harry might be able to continue to use guns in duels against lower level threats.  He might even be able to shoot a wizard who is distracted and not putting up a shield, but as Harry faces larger threats guns are becoming secondary weapons for him to use.  They have specific but very limited uses.   

He Who Walks Before would disagree!
Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

what about keeping the Winchester and engraving the barrel to use earth magic (sword cane is getting phased out a bit it seems).  This would make it a dual threat weapon and the old fashioned mechanics of it all should work even if he used it as a focus.

That pistol is cool looking, but I vote keep the Winchester. Yeah he can't keep it in his Duster pocket, but the increase in accuracy and dual use as a club makes it preferable to me.

I like the Winchester. Maybe as the Winter Knight, Harry could order up a batch of ammo with Runes on the bullets from Kringle?

Maybe Harry will go in the opposite direction for gun size...

The Hell is that? An oil gun? Oh wait, I use something like that to vaccinate cows. Maybe that's it :P

I'm preferential to adding a stock to a pistol style weapon. Imagine that^^ with a stock snuggled into your armpit instead? Or better to me a nice 1911.
The S&W BFR's competitor, the Taurus Judge did precisely that.  Called it the Circuit Judge carbine, but has the same flexible ammunition capabilities. It's even a 5-shot, for all the pentacle imagery youd ever need.
