"Jesse more or less had an idea of where his revolver was, its laser was still emanating off to the side. A goombah was nice to take it from McCree and set the hefty thing onto a nearby chair. It was a f*** ugly piece of metal. A sh*tty prop that belonged in some video game or a SyFy movie.
The thing broke all the rules of gun design but somehow, it performed well. It had a terrible sight picture, blocked up by some laser along the rear sights. The thing snagged like a hairy muff and a tight zipper. It used some experimental rail system along the bottom, making the damn thing look like some serrated knife; which in turn only made it incompatible with other mounting systems.
The idea was that it was a revolver that shot rifle rounds. The frame was huge. Then they took it up a notch and made the revolver fire pulse rifle rounds; so the frame needed to be further reinforced to the point where it looked like an innocent Colt replica revolver got caught in some H.R Giger-esque shell...
Make no mistake, it took a long, long time for Jesse to warm up to the overly-kitted, poorly balanced, tacti-cool piece of sh*t. But it was a part of him; like an ugly wife or a retarded pet animal. "

Designer: Colt, Smith & Wesson Conglomerate
Designed: 2056
Produced: 2058 - present
Weight: 3.3 LBS / 4.26 LBS
Length: 7.75 inches (2.25" Barrel Config) / 13 inches (7.5" Barrel Config) / 15 inches (9.5" Barrel Config)
Magazine: Six round cylinder/five round cylinder
Action: Double action/Single action
Introduced in 2058, the Peacekeeper revolver was introduced chambered in .45 Long Colt, .44 Magnum and .454 Casull. The grip panel is made from a militarized, rugged material that can be swapped for customization. The frame of the gun is a proprietary one created to withstand the muzzle velocity of a pulse round. It could be said that the gun heavily resembles Smith and Wesson X-Frame revolvers from yesteryear. However, much of it has been modified to suitably fire pulse rounds.
Instead of using a conventional barrel, the Peacekeeper contains a rifled tube within a barrel shroud. Tension is used to keep the barrel makes a cheaper, albeit more accurate revolver. Both the tube and shroud are treated in a process that diffuses the properties of the metal, that causes it be wear-resistant and smooth. In addition to this, the same barrel is then uniformly coated in chrome to avoid any discrepancies in accuracy since the dimensions of the barrel is modified.
The revolver is match-accurate.
The weight of the revolver and the ability to add compensators to the barrel helps greatly with the shooters perceived recoil (seen within the Blackwatch McCree skin. As Jesse's skill with the revolver increased, the compensator was removed). The spur was modified to the pistol to help with balance, at the cost of looking ridiculous.

Specialist teams have their dedicated pistoleer in urban environments. Sometimes, these pistoleers will handle doors, operate shields and throw grenades. McCree is no exception. Breach, throw a grenade into the room and clear. However, Jesse isn't a SWAT team jarhead with some overly kitted semi-auto; he diverges heavily by filling in an intermediate role between a pistoleer and a rifleman with a semi-automatic rifle.
Thanks to advancements in pulse technology, rounds that are approximately the size of a .45 Long Colt can now match 7.62x rifle round. However, the semi-automatic pistols that are needed to fire these rounds would be too complex and over-engineered as the amount of muzzle energy would render the available semi-automatic pistol designs unreliable.
Another thing that made the whole idea of a pistol that had the power of a rifle unattractive to many in the 2060s was the fact that this was limited to revolvers. Revolvers were seen as obsolete to those in military service and law enforcement.
The only market where this saw any sort of attention was with civilian hunters due to the low profile that a revolver provides compared to a rifle; thanks to the energy efficiency of a pulse-round, recoil was lighter on the shooter as well; and despite being only shot from a six inch barrel, the pulse-assisted rounds were also noted to be extremely accurate.
It takes an incredibly skilled operator to be able to fully utilize the power and accuracy made available by large-bore pulse-assisted revolvers. McCree has those skills.
