“A ten pound handgun? Is there such a thing?”
I was referencing the Walker model Colt; double-checking shows it only
made it to four pounds, nine ounces.
And it’s a BIG old gun.
I do admit I don’t know the weight of another old Civil-War era gun
(the Lebel?) that even had basically a small shotgun barrel under the
main pistol barrel.
But a 10-pound “hand” gun? Maybe the old “horse-guns” of centuries ago?
