Just looking at that picture and I can hear in the back of my mind the chimes of 'La resa dei conti', but of course that was a Van Cleefs weapon of choice was a Buntline with rifle stock fitted.
Not much in the way of stories I can relate, except for one passed down to me from my mother. Her and my father used to belong to a gun club back in the day, she'd fire Colt .45s just fine but one day for a laugh they gave her a Magnum, a particularly heavy one, and naturally (to their amusement) the first couple of shots made a nice furrow in the floor. So then she adjusted her stance and nailed the bullseye. Their mouths hit the floor.
Moral of the story, don't mess with my mother, she is pretty handy with throwing knives too!
