LeMat’s Civil War Legacy The original LeMat (1856) was a 9-shot .42cal revolver with a 20ga shotgun barrel, designed for Confederate cavalry. Pietta’s modern replicas capture this innovation. Known as the "Grapeshot Revolver," its unique design made it a fearsome sidearm. Only 2,900 originals exist—Pietta keeps the legend alive. https://stargunshop.com/product/pietta-lemat-cavalry-44-cal-black-powder-revolver/
