M.....12 gauge shotgun pistol. Something like an oversize derringer...

What you're looking for is the LeMat Pistol, designed in the mid 19thC. Very popular cavalry weapon during the Civil War. It was a big-bore six-shooter with a 16-gauge barrel underneath, looking something like the idea of the 40MM tube under an M16.

The LeMat is currently being manufactured in Italy and the US by a couple of those companies that work the Cowboy Shooters and collectors markets. Apparently works great!

Should be enough to cause immediate and severe local sanitation problems amongst your neighborhood perps.

IMNSVHO, not a good candidate for IWB concealed carry, unless you weigh about 375 and wear muumuu's under a parka.

Way cool!!!

Some brainy gunsmith needs to take that design and upgrade it with modern materials, methods and such. Get the weight down, etc.

Can you imagine what a load of buckshot would do to a perp at close range? Hell, with that, it’s practically impossible to miss.
