I had one of those old twice barreled double shoot guns, nickle plated with gold hammers that rode under the front seat of my patrol cars until the Patrol issued Model 870's.
The butt stock was sawed off into a pistol grip and the barrels ended at the front end of the forestock. It might have been a touch short. Don't know what became of that gun, must have fallen in a badger hole or sumthin'.
It kept 4 escapees from a prison in Missouri layin' in a mud hole until backup arrived 45 minutes after they come a bustin' out of their stolen car.
Backup was an off duty Deputy from Medicine Bow with a Tommy gun and a pickup. Them muddy buggers warn't gonna ride the 50 miles to the Iron Tipi in my brand new Buick Patrol car, no siree, they warn't.
