Would a modern adaptation of the LeMat revolver be feasable or legal. I envision a modern LeMat utilizing a top-break system like the S&W Schofield. This would allow loading access to both the revolving pistol chambers and the central shot barrel. With the 9-shot cylinder chambered in .357 and the shot barrel chambered for 20 guage it would be a fearsome weapon. I would also prefer the weapon to be single action for more simplistic operation and due to the already neccesity of some sort of hammer mechanism to allow the switch of firing barrel.
However, I wonder if the short shot barrel would be legal. I know the Taurus Judge allows the use of .410, but I am unclear as to whether a larger shot shell would be possible for a pistol. Even if it required a $200 dollar tax stamp a modern variant as described above would be worth it to me.
Anyway I was just hoping yall would chime in on the possibility of my dream gun from merely a functional and legal standpoint, I know already it is a far-fetched idea with regard to its commercial possibility.
