To be honest, I have got a 28mm van saar revolver on a 28mm model, and it looks fine. I'm not sure how it would look on a 54mm model, but it's probably a little too small. A 90mm revolver seems the perfect size for a mook with the stupidly big revolver from the revised armoury (especially at 28mm ;))

Well, there are different 28mm revolvers so I'm not sure which one you have - but if you look at the photo I posted, that particular 28mm Necromunda revolver is about the same size as the 54mm one - and in fact is slightly bulkier.
I like to remember things my own way... Not necessarily the way they happened.

"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? "

I have a necromunda revolver and it looks like it easily has the size for an inquisitor one.

Inquisitor Octavian Lars

that's the one!
Octavian has slick's revolver so it would be easier to get that set for the head and make someone else with the body and legs

I now expect marco to come along and say something about the .44 not being "the most powerful handgun in the world" ;D

If you insist.

The .44 Magnum was, at its development in 1955, once the most powerful handgun cartridge in the world. However, it lost the title of most powerful handgun cartridge in 1959 to the .454 Casull - but the first widely commercially available .454 Casull revolver was not available until 1983, so the statement in the 1971 Dirty Harry was actually more or less correct, provided you exclude custom .454 revolvers.

Of course, his claim is complicated by 1973's Magnum Force, where he claimed to be loading his S&W Model 29 with .44 Specials (rather than .44 Magnums), which is a considerably less powerful cartridge.

Six. Definitely six. I happen to have brought rain man with me.....

And in reply to Marco, *insert quote about Pfeifer-Zeliska here*

The revolver I am using is the one from the juve, so it might be a little smaller.

Two revolvers walk into a bar, and the barman says "Is this some kind of joke?". :P

Anyway, as Kaled has shown, a Necromunda revolver works well, but I'm assuming you probably don't have any of those.
Back to the original note of Heresy Miniatures, I have used their revolvers on 54mm models, and this is actually very scale accurate. At around 1/32 scale, Lyra's revolver is pretty much bang on to be her auto-magnum.

However, I should note this will only work on realistically proportioned models and will inevitably look small in comparison to heroically proportioned weapons.

That said, if your plan is to buy Custer, who comes with two revolvers anyway, does it matter?
(Although I definitely agree with Kaled, the Mad Max is a much better model. More expensive, but you get what you pay for...)

Fair enough, do you think Octavian should have 2 revolvers undercover (held) or 1 revolver and a knife?

I would go for a revolver and a knive, that we he can also do some old-fashioned stabbing and throat slitting.
