The Lemat was a fearsome weapon and they saw heavy use. A buddy of mine has an original.
I can’t believe that that pistol made the list, but no mention of any pinfire weapon...

The Lemat was a fearsome weapon and they saw heavy use. A buddy of mine has an original. Both Nathan Bedford Forrest and Jeb Stuart used the things, in pairs as saddle guns. Both infantry generals Stonewall Jackson and *Wild* Patrick Cleburne used them as a single holstered weapon.
