 * Capacity: ** 6 shots
 * Time Period: ** First designed/produced in 1988 with modifications through 2007

** Weight: ** 7lbs There are plenty of reasons of why this might have been the weapon of choice. The earlier release of this gun gives it an advantage of being the choice weapon of people in the Southwest. The barrel is also longer which could lead to better accuracy. It is bigger and more powerful than the revolver, plus the shots move 610 ft/s faster giving the target less time to avoid them. The downfall to this weapon is that it is much heavier and can only hold two shots as opposed to six. This might be the weapon of choice for a person that is ready to inflict a great amount of damage on any target.    **Weight: **4 oz  Convenience is in this weapons favor. Close combat is the specialty for the pocket knife. The everyday use is also something to be considered. With a total weight of 4 ounces it is almost lost inside the pocket of a Rancher or Cowboy. But always there when called upon for any job. The durability of the knife means never jamming or back firing which is another reason for the popularity of this weapon.
