Did Wyatt Erp use a pistol brace?

I don't know - but some of the 'Colt Single Action Army'-type revolvers were apparently available with shoulder stocks (which was entirely legal at the time). I also don't know if/when Mr. Earp might have owned such a Colt; info at the Kansas Historical Society web site suggests that he carried a .44 S&W at the 'OK Corral'...

;^)

German Lugers also came with a holster which could be attached as a stock.
