Hand made? Impressive.

Nice job if it's hand made,the barrel is the important part to get right,anyway hardly Young Guns is it,one bullet.

Beat him senseless with it , then blow his nuts off to stop him having kids !!

Thailand is really sinking into social dysfunction.

It looks like a semi-auto, but is probably just a single shot. without an ejector. 

 

Looking at this gun, the person on the wrong end of the barrel wouldn't know this, so, yes, "impressive" in appearance.  

I think he has drilled out an "airsoft" pistol and his bullet is 38Sp rimmed!!!! it'll only fire in a revolver! 55555

38 rimfire would be a very unusual round for Thailand.

The bullet shown appears to be the normal 38 centrefire commonly available everywhere in the world.

Single shot. There is no slide. You can see it’s just one piece.

I wanted to see the other side of the gun. 

 

I suspect there may be something similar to "a bolt" or, the mechanism on the back of the grip may slide down, allowing a round to be chambered. 

 

Then, it could be just a simple hammer with a firing pin. 

 

The trigger mechanism is interesting.  It appears fixed to the trigger guard. 

 

An interesting firearm.
