Thanks Tim
Hey folks If I understand correctly this is the only Emphacise ONLY legal shotgun Pistol. It has interchangable barrels and is available only in .410 as a shotgun.

It’s the chambering that makes it legal. Firearms designed to fire multi-projectile rounds, (i.e. shotguns) with a chamber diameter in excess of 0.41 inch (i.e. anything bigger than a .410), must have a barrel length of at least 18 inches. .410 is and is not a shotgun round, depending on which part of the US federal firearms laws you are reading.

I’ve seen several .410 handguns over the years, including a derringer I once owned that would cnamber both .410 and .45 Colt cartridges.

Maybe, but you can buy shotshells for in variety of handgun calibers.

Here’s some forf the 38 Special/.375 Magnum.

I lived with a guy who had a special anniversary edition Derringer-type pistol that could hold two .45 Colt or .410 shells. It was about five inches long, tops.

Naturally, we called it the Hand Cannon. I don’t remember him ever firing it.

Heh. I just remembered this nasty little sucker. The picture here is of a Navy Arms reproduction of the civil war era LeMat revolver.

.40-.42 caliber 9-shot revolver with a cylinder that rotated about a .60 caliber smoothbore cylinder pin. The cylinder pin was loaded usually loaded with grapeshot. Ouch!

Here’s a photo of an original in a different caliber.
