Spit some Beechnut in that's dude's eye...

...Then shoot 'em with my ol' .45.

When most people hear that line, I'm sure most people think of a Colt. However, I didn't I thought about this pistol - 1858 New Army. These guns were originally manufactured as black powder pistols, but after the advent of metallic cartridges, the U.S. government had them converted to accept the new ammunition.

Patton's pistols

I have to confess, as much as I've studied Patton and read about him, I've just always assumed he carried a Colt 1873 "Peace Maker" - but doin' some quick research I've discovered I was wrong. He carried one Colt and one S & W Model 27 (actually, it was before S & W numbered pistols - N frame) with a 3.5" barrel. Pictures courtesy of Patton Museum at Fort Knox...

DIY shotgun revolver

From HomeGunsmith.com...

"Using chambers cut off 12 ga. scrap barrels and a new $10 bbl for an Italian auto shotgun, the only other gun part is a scrapped hammer from a 1857 Remington perc revolver. Loads like a SAA Colt but underlever rotates and cocks it. Blow-by is negligible, hardly noticeable with normal shirt sleeve."
