i have to dissagree about the harrington gat being the king of the pop outs, a friend once brought a diana with the huntress raised on the top, i couldn't believe how powerful it was
it was fairly accurate too (from about five yards)
the pistol was in fantastic condition.... i was proper vexed when i found out he'd sold it to someone else

remembering back to when i was about twelve, we all had gat guns and regularly had 'wars' with them, it was like gunfight at the OK corral

youth seems to blind us to the perils of such actions and at the time, it was FANTASTIC!!!

we were lucky not to be blinded for real
