Why can’t someone make a modern (centerfire, not cap-and-ball) version of the LeMat revolver, with a shotty barrel under the revolver barrel?
I just had occasion to handle a replica LeMat, and it’s (7 or 8 round) cylinder, with a (more or less) 20-gauge SG barrel under would make an excellent weapon to fight off zombies.
A modern LeMat would be pretty complicated – hard to do well and at a price people would pay.
If it had a smooth bore it would also be NFA, so it’d wind up rifled, making the pattern even worse (like the Judge).
Anyway, if you do a SBS, don’t use a gun with ejectors. Or disable them. I just dropped off my 12″ O/U Baikal for refinishing and disablement of the ejectors. It’s impossible to open, even trying to break it over your knee. No leverage.

The shotty reminds me of this gem

BTW, Weer’d, clicking your link is “forbidden”. Seems to be a locked server, or I didn’t have the correct “papers”. something.

Hmmmmm, un-modern LeMat. Where the $%^& did I put that BPS catalog?
