Let’s play the “What is it?” game!

Looks like a variation of a High Standard. Slide is quite different from what I’m used to seeing, though. Also, the barrel is all one-piece with the “upper”, while the HS’s I’m familiar with had removable barrels.

Yes, Wheeler, the Rex-Merrill "Sportsman"
made in Fullerton, California.
A single-shot, break-open action pistol.

For $2000, this one could be yours,
along with a couple extra barrels chambered in some powerful-sounding wildcat calibers.
At Foxhole Guns & Archery in Gainesville.
 
When I first saw it under the counter I thought it was a High Standard as well,
but not any model that I could think of. It looks a lot like a high standard made in the 1950s or 60s.
I have owned at least one Connecticut- made H.S. for the last 40 years,
and shot a couple others belonging to friends.

Very cool! I've only seen them in magazines.

Hopkins & Allen XL, .38 rimfire or maybe .44 rimfire
single action revolver.
Probably the Army model, XL No. 8

On the left side of the revolver, at the loading gate at the back end of the cylinder, this almost fooled me . It looks like a Merwin Hulbert revolver of the same time period,
the late 1870s,
But I don't think the Merwin Hulbert revolvers had an exposed ejector rod like this, and their grips / stocks are always shown as having a round butt configuration not square butt like this Hopkins & Allen.
