LeMat Centerfire Pistol and Carbine
This video provides an in-depth look at the rare centerfire LeMat revolver and its carbine variant. While Colonel LeMat is widely recognized for his 9-shot muzzleloading revolvers used during the US Civil War, this presentation focuses on the less common pinfire and centerfire iterations. The reviewer details how these centerfire models retain the original principles, including the distinctive 20 gauge shot barrel, but utilize self-contained cartridges for both the rifle (11mm, similar to the French 1873 service revolver) and shotgun components. Modern reproductions are also mentioned.
