Howdah pistol

Recommended Posts

Correct no practical use but pretty damn cool.
I have a BFR in 30-30 and it is one of my favorite revolvers Lol.

Go for it Ken! [emoji16]

Cabela's has been sellin' them for years.  They're available in many configurations, the most popular being smoothbore 20 ga. SxS.  As legal as buying a Cap & Ball revolver & driving it across the Delaware.  Lead shot, glass, rocks, nails, you can shoot it all :) .

That's blackpowder though isn't it?

^^^Yep, it's a muzzleloader double barrel percussion.  Got its' name from the basket placed on top of elephants, "Howda".  Or as I like to refer to it, "Howda hell did I think this was a good idea?"  Because it doesn't fire fixed, manufactured ammunition, it's not classified as a sawed-off shotgun.  Federally legal in all 50 states.

I have the Taurus Judge, 45LC/.40 revolver.

Spread with shot shell is about 1" per foot of distance.  It's a lot of spread but less than I had expected when I bought it.

Since the gun being discussed here has a much longer barrel than my 3" revolver, I suspect the spread would be quite  a bit less.

The spread of shot is about the same regardless of barrel length.
