Colt Pocket (?) Gun?
Must’a been some extra large pockets back then.
They were.
Welp, Tox…the pockets WERE extry large back then, ‘specially jacket pockets. The “Pocket” Revolvers were much smaller than the other revolvers of the day. Think “Josey Wales” and his shoulder rig. I had, the key word being “had”, a .36 caliber version, round barrel repro, made by CVA, bought the entire presentation kit in ’79ish, pistol, case, powder flask, cleaning kit, lead mold, and fiddly bits for $125. Accurate as all hell out to about 50 feet and fun to shoot. Didn’t get custody of it, and several others, from the lying, thieving, cheating, may she rot in hell for eternity, final, former, ex Mrs. Gun Bunny. IF you can find one today for sale, expect to pay north of $250 for the pistol itself on a new, imported repro that’s no where near the quality. The older, CVA repros, IF the owner wants to get rid of it, can go much higher.
Too bad dear old dad and his compatriot didn’t go ahead and deliver a TPSS to the “trespasser”.
Suicide by cop? Mission accomplished! Always nice to have a video followup to a previous FGS. Thanks, Ot.
Not sure how many badges of freedom I had…until that tragic boat accident. Sadly, we are all still tax slaves to the despots.
“The sheriff’s office said the officers shot the suspect multiple times due to the alleged threats.”
If you use a gun with the preordained, holy caliber of .45, shooting multiple times is unnecessary. It’s just wasteful.
