One of the record photos I made for the Sanders Center Firearms Museum last week. There are some pistols that make you want to say: Slap leather, you polecat!
Shooting the TSRA calendar for 2010.
With this nine-shot weapon, you could shoot them off the horse....then use the (tenth shot) middle barrel to kill the horse. If you didn't like his long face.
Update: A little discussion about pronunciation in the comments. Just imagine you were a South Carolinian. "Climb off that horse before I LeMat your Yankee ass." So. LeMay your ass or Lemat your ass? I'm thinking LeMat. It just has more poetry.
Whichever, its a hell of a fine shootin arn.
Update II: I edited the calendar photos so closely that the LeMat didn't make the cut. Next year.
