Last night on "Sons of Guns"
I was watching when I received a phone call and turned the volume down but left the TV on. They had a rather ornate revolver the likes of which I have never seen. It had quite a large cylinder with God only knows how many chambers in two rings, one inside the other. Would anyone have any idea what this was?

It was a Lefaucheux 20-round pinfire revolver, and bad to the bone!

Re: Last night on "Sons of Guns"
Yeah I got all the info on that and also a similar German model. Too bad they can't do something to increase the capacity of modern day wheel guns.

Re: Last night on "Sons of Guns"
A gun like would be hard to carry, and really imposible to carry concealed! But I do like the fire power!
