I lucked into this on another ML forum. 1980s vintage Ethan Allen .36 cal sxs sold by Hoppe's - yep, that Hoppe's. As soon as the monsoons decide to stop attacking I'm going to blast my way out of a paper bag. :laffing

Yep, Hoppe's put this out back in the 70's, along with the New Orleans Ace and a pepperbox. I think the pepperbox was also a .36 and the Ace was a .40 something. Maybe a .44? I had one for a while but found it really difficult to shoot. To aim, one had to hold it at about a 45 degree angle and hope for the best. Really a belly gun if there ever was one.
Not a target pistol at all.

"Not a target pistol at all." NOW you tell me! I was going to use one of those barrels next time out to be the first guy to achieve my Morgan's challenge with a handgun.
:luff:
