Among my favorite 19th century weapons are these pistols with spring loaded bayonets. They are a marriage of technical ingenuity, artistic design, and mans never ending desire to create new and better weapons to fight our fellow man... to the death!

I always thought switchblades were cool. In the 1960s all the big kids in our neighborhood in Detroit had them, and those guys were cool. My friends big brothers, - Greasers-, which indicated how one kept his hair in place. What could be cooler than greasy hair, side-winder pointed shoes, straight leg jeans, switchblades, and a 20 cent pack of non-filter smokes rolled up in your T-shirt sleeve?
These antique shooter-stabbers are just a classier and more sophisticated Bad-Ass weapon. This pistol has two barrels in over-under configuration. It is a tap-action mechanism where the shooter fires the first barrel. Then he turns the tap, re-caps the nipple, and fires the second barrel. If those two shots don't get the job done, the last resort is Le Bayonet. Pull back on the trigger guard and -voila- out snaps the blade... and you stab your opponent as many times as you want.
