Yes and more than one !!

As a matter of fact, I did see three of these about two weeks ago at a local gun show. They were antiques but the dealer who had them, is in the process of manufacturing them, or so he said. Seems that there is a lot involved with legally making and marketing them. Did not pay all that much attention but I believe the ones I saw, were M/L's. up until a few weeks back, was not aware that they existed.. ... :confused:


Be Safe !!!
 
As in that video, he never showed how it was loaded, but it looks like you un-screw the front screw out provided in the box to remove the cylinder to load.
 
I have a book of odd guns and you'd be surprised at what type have been made. Tobacco pipe, belt buckle, Zippo, a glove that when you punched someone it shot them too:eek:, etc...

Those glove guns were developed during World War II for Seabees working on formerly Japanese occupied islands in the Pacific.

Theory was that if a Japanese soldier tried to get up onto the equipment that the Seabee was operating, he'd land a punch and the mechanism would fire a .38 Smith & Wesson round into the enemy.

In theory, great. In practice, not so much. Too bulky. It was easier just to assign a couple of armed guards.
 
Years ago, I saw a Sherlock Holmes movie that had an umbrella with a pistol as a handle. To shoot, you pointed the umbrella at the target.
