I'm an old cogger, like to watch the old black & white TV series: Bat Masterson and the Rifleman.
Gene Barry the actor of Bat, carries and interesting looking shorty barrel Colt revolver I assume is .45 Colt caliber. The barrel is either 3.5 inch or 4 inch and has an ejector rod running the length of the barrel. It can't be very practical to eject spent brass out of its cylinder chambers.
Anyone know more about that gun?
The Rifleman series is great, Chuck Conners has shot enough bad guys with that fast shooten winchester, he could fill a train load of box cars with corpses. The kid that plays his son in the series, wonder what he went on to do as an adult...anyone know.
I also understand Conners once sent russian premier Brezniv a Colt .45 caliber revolver as a gift back during the cold war era. Brezniv was a big fan for Chuck Conners...I think Conners linage was from that country?
