The Apache pocket pistol has an almost mythical reputation amongst those of us who are interested in antique firearms. This is almost certainly due to the fact that the weapon looks really cool.

Multipurpose weapon there. Brass knuckles, gun, knife. Does it come with a bottle opener?

With all due respect to antique firearms: This one looks like something that only a "New Orleans pimp would carry." (With apologies to General Patton)

It's much smaller than I thought it would be, and the ammo doesn't sound too safe.
I'll keep my Gerber folder.

http://www.horstheld.com/0-blades.htm BLADES AND BARRELS
six centuries of combination weapons
by H. GORDON FROST
This is the complete reference on the history of
combination weapons over the past six centuries.
The inside jacket reads “Blades and Barrels is the
first full scale study ever written about man's
attempt to combine an edged weapon with a firearm.
Tracing the development of combination weapons from
the hand cannon through the center fire ignition
systems, this book fills a long recognized gap in
firearms literature.”
The book covers knife pistols, cutlass pistols, mace
pistols, axe pistols and war hammer pistols.
In depth studies of companies such as Unwin & Rodgers,
Harrington & Richardson, Frank Wesson, Colt, Boden and
Dolne.
Contains 400 photographs from private and museum
collections, the author spent over 20 years researching
and compiling this information.
Copyright 1972.
The book is out of print, a very rare and important
reference.

Plus many hand gun with blades at the URL.

The basic design would be pretty effective if it was of hefty enough size, but that simply wasn't the case. This thing is pretty small, measuring when all folded up a little more than 1.5 inches across (4 centimeters). You had better have little bitty fingers or else you won't be able to use the weapon as a knuckle duster.Don't forget. At the time, the average height of an adult male was probably in the middle 5 foot range.

Or like what a lot of AR15 noobs brag about, how much accessories they have on their cool black rifle.

And cranky Germans. I love the (perhaps mythical) story about how the Germans were trying to intimidate the Swiss with the fact that their army alone was twice as big as the entire Swiss population. The Swiss said “Hmmm. Then we’ll have to shoot twice.”
