I did see that advertised somewhere...but I never noticed the snake grip in the movie...

I was always amused by the Tuco character spinning cylinders, swapping frames, and listening to the lockwork [gunshop scene]...But when I finally owned a .454 Casull, and listened/compared the movement of the lockwork to my Ruger .44 Magnum, I realized that Sergio Leone was illustrating a little known fact...Some are better made than others...
