I think that's beautifully donebut if I might make a couple of suggestions (well, you did ask!):
the trigger guard is too small (doesn't look like you could get a finger in there); the handle could curve forward a little less (so you don't shoot low); and (less sure about this) the handle might be bulked up a little.
Of course, that's what I'd suggest if this was a commercial piece (or coursework, say) - but if you just made it for the hell of it, then woo to you, sir!
EDIT: I'm also not sure what mechanism there is to keep the six-bullet-chamber thingy in place, or to let you get access to reload?
The rifle bullets idea is great though - couldn't work out for the life of me what was wrong with it until you posted it above!
EDIT2: One final point - bullets go back a bit into the casing, rather than sort of balance on top like you have it here.
