I Have This Old Gun: Howdah Pistol
This "American Rifleman Television" segment of "I Have This Old Gun" explores the history and function of the Howdah pistol. Designed for 19th-century tiger hunters in India who needed to defend themselves from the very animals they were hunting, often from atop an elephant, the Howdah pistol represents a unique intersection of hunting and self-defense needs. The video features NRA Museums Director Phil Schreier discussing the necessity that drove its invention and includes footage of the Howdah pistol in action on the range. It also directs viewers to American Rifleman's website for complete episodes and provides tune-in information for new episodes on the Outdoor Channel.
