Not really. The LeMat had 9 shots with a backup of a 20 guage barrel. It couldn’t fire more than one shot at a time. It was a black powder precussion pistol that had to be loaded slowly. To fire the shotgun barrel under the main barrel you had to switch the firing pin device on the hammer to hit the nipple for the shotgun barrel.

And with the value of a real LeMat you could put your kids through college and still have plenty left over.

This 1911 double barrel is a novelty but I don’t see it as a good gun for self protection. I’ll keep my single barrel 1911s over this oddity.

Yes, there were rotating 4 and six barrels and even a sliding four barrel contraption.
