I’ve never understood this.
Seems so impractical, compared to carrying knuckles, a gun, and a knife.
What are you supposed to do, start with the knuckles and flip the thing open into gun mode if things go south? It’s incredibly fussy.
It folds: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_revolver?oldid=1019451583 Still pretty impractical tho
I’m thinking it’s mostly a weapon of intimidation, personally, but what I don’t know about pre-WW1 French gangsters fills libraries, lmao
It’s probably supposed to be concealed so you get to carry one thing. Either knuckles a gun or a knife, this allows you to not have to choose before you gool out at least.
Granted if you think you may need a gun, why not just bring a real one that you can conceal. I don’t know.
I’ve got a North American Arms revolver. You can’t hit anything at 5’, no lie. Somehow this is even worse. LOL, bullets probably come out sideways.
