Tell me more about that gun!

LeMat revolver. Used in the Civil War by the Confederates. Designed in 1855 and patented in 1856. 9 round cylinder in either .42 or .36 and a 16 gauge shotgun chamber in the center of the cylinder.
When I seen that picture of the gun from Firefly, I thought of the LeMat first. So, I found the picture on Wikipedia and posted it. To me, it is what they used to design the gun in the series. Just looks more like it.
Trying to locate a source for a firing replica right now. Seems current ones are .44/20 gauge instead of .36/16gauge
EDIT: found a source, but they are out at the moment. Looks like $800-$1000 like the other one in your thread. More common rounds, though. Google Pieta LeMat Revolver and you should find it. I'll PM the link.

Is there a replica manufacturer? It has a GDed shotgun load. What a cool gun.

Dixie Gun Works is the link I sent you. Check it out when you get home. Black powder, but that isn't hard to shoot. Enjoy shooting black powder when I get a chance.
This link lists various movies/TV series that the LeMat was used in. It lists the LeMat as being modified to look futuristic in the series "Firefly" but lists it as being used by Jayne Cobb-played by Adam Baldwin, instead of Malcolm.
