"Mare's Leg"
A 6 shot shortened pistol version of the Winchester 1892 rifle, known effectionatly as "Mare's Leg" has been seen in the following films:
Film
- Steve McQueen as Josh Randall in Wanted: Dead or Alive (.44-40 caliber, first with rounded barrel and D lever loop and later with octagonal barrel and tear drop lever loop)
- Woody Strode as Stony in Once Upon a Time in the West (with trigger pin attached to lever for rapid fire)
- Used by Gina Torres in Serenity (2005)
Television
- Used by Gina Torres in Firefly (2002)
- Used by Steve McQueen in Wanted: Dead or Alive (1958)
What is the advantage of the oversized lever loop?
- It allows you to spin the gun one-handed. Other than that, it actually makes the gun take longer to cycle. I never understood by The Rifleman used a large lever model, a small lever would have been quicker.
