yeah, that's definitely a strange one. I wish I could revisit at this time, but the National Firearms museum in the NRA building has been closed since COVID has struck. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I believe the order you mentioned, fire the gun until empty first, then use the billy club, was necessary. Can you imagine whacking someone/something with that club and then trying to shoot through the now-bent or kinked barrel? =8-0 Not a very good idea... Stu Image below from TJ Parmele - Image Title: Billy Club revolver Image Info: Model 10 Smith and Wesson with a billy club attached. According to the NRA: the hollow club extension on this double-action revolver allowed rounds in the cylinder to be fired and then an immediate shift to use of the club if necessary. Intended for law enforcement, the awkward combination of the club extension fitted to the revolver's barrel did not see extensive use by any agency. Larger image available! Click image to see it. |
