Circa 1938: Revolver Camera
“A Colt 38 carrying a small camera that automatically takes a picture when the trigger is pulled. At the left: six pictures taken by the camera. New York.”

Gun cameras are not a new idea.
Damn...about fall off my chair laughing at your “additional” St. Skittles photoshop...
Shake his hand and tell him thank you from me. ;)
The cities are our vulnerability. We own the rural areas. The problem people would not live in the rural areas, too high a density of freedom for them to be happy.
That was exactly my first thoughts!
I’m GTT...but from Mississippi, a State that talks a good “conservative” game, but when it comes down to it is FAR more leftist than anyone realizes.
LOL!
Great photoshop!
Hilarious!
I need to get one of these for when I go to concerts that don’t permit cameras...
I have come to hate liberals worse than roaches.
A lot of people around here have been removing those bumper stickers; not only have the Somali “refugees” in our cities but the gest... err... “Police” have been hassling them, and the moonbats in MA will try to run you off the road for them... and don’t expect any sympathy from the jackboots if you use any force to defend yourself from these attacks.
I would expect much the same from Californica.
Display of a Gadsden flag here in New England lately is inviting attack from liberal thugs with or without badges.
I don’t see them around any more, and hardly ever see one flown in public view. I don’t fly mine any more.
Then again I don’t fly the Stars and Stripes, either.
My Country has been murdered, and Liberty is soon to be a fond memory to the generations which knew it.
And now the Russians are coming to help “protect” us.
I have long been warning that it won’t be US soldiers who will come to take our guns and round survivors up into the FEMA camps. It’s probably time for a lot of dissidents to go low profile - not that it will help much since they’ve been spying on us for years now.
Soon, I suspect, we will see how many of the macho “Moulon Labe” crowd will make good on their commitment to die on their feet rather than live on their knees, and how many will fold like a Wal Mart umbrella when the jackboots come to call.
Stay tuned...
Fortunately, I don’t get the same reaction here in North Georgia. Hell, there are some back roads up in the mountains here the Rebel South is in full swing.
I’ve had a CCW here nigh on 15 years and do carry in my car always. I follow the law, and I don’t get excited.
If anyone gets upset at my display, they can eff off, but I’m not gonna brandish a weapon unless they cause me to.
With today’s technology this could be revisited in a miniturazed form that could attach to the forward laser mount, possibly combining pistol cam with laser.
It’s the next step from the dash cam, and could provide valuable post incident data and evidence.
The DHS could mount them on their .40 Glocks to prove to their Ubermeisters that they had really executed everyone on their assigned list.
“... rather a dangerous way to take photos.”
The revolver in the image is not a Colt, but a Smith & Wesson. Likely a Military & Police Model of 1905, Fourth Change.
The hole in the front of the ejector rod locking plunger stud can be seen. S&W arms of the period (probably pre-1945) all sported a locking plunger at the forward tip of the ejector rod; No Colt’s revolver ever sported one.
If it were indeed a Colt, one could see the head of the rod.
The poster may have meant that the revolver chambered 38 Colt; many S&W revolvers were so chambered, as the cartridge was the US War Dept’s standard handgun cartridge from 1892 to 1911. It also did duty with the US Navy and was issued as a backup (”substitute standard”) into the 1920s.
Before the nation’s armed forces were unified in 1947, the Army (War Dept) & Navy were not required to use a common-design small arms cartridge (except by ad hoc occasional Congressional Statute, or periodic preference. The separate services maintained completely separate ordnance departments, developed completely different small arms and cartridges, and only occasionally used each other’s weaponry. The Navy often allowed the Army to take the lead (and allow the War Dept to absorb the cost & time & effort of development), then adopted an identical piece of hardware. That’s how it proceeded with the Model 1911 pistol: early ones were marked “Model of 1911 U.S. Army”, and only after some years of production did the Navy Ordnance Bureau buy pistols marked “Model of 1911 U.S. Navy.”
I appreciate the history lesson.
Say cheese, Trayvon.
That’s a great story!
