An interesting weapon is the Elgin Cutlass Pistol, developed in1838 for the US Navy. The resulting .54 caliber, single-shot smoothbore Elgin pistol was equipped with an 11.5-inch Bowie Knife blade and was intended for use by boarding parties; it was the first percussion firearm adopted for naval service, but only 150 were made. The Navy specifically intended them for the Wilks-south Seas expedition. In 1840 a naval landing party used the pistol to defend the landing party when Fijian warriors attacked the sailors on the island of Malolo. A few Elgin pistols were still in use during the War of Northern Agression, but proved so unpopular, they were replaced with the M1860 Naval Cutlass.

It's hard to get some shooters to safely holster a handgun without a bayonet affixed.Why are knives blades never attached to any major handguns? I have never seen S&W, Colt or Walther handguns with a bayonet?
We only thought glock-leg was bad. Now some genius has attached a blade and managed to make it such that they can shoot and stab themselves at the same timeI have never seen S&W, Colt or Walther handguns with a bayonet?

Those are not needed on handguns with large capacity magazines. The classic service sized Colt like 1911 does not need bayonet because it can be used in same manner as a hammer.Why are knives blades never attached to any major handguns? I have never seen S&W, Colt or Walther handguns with a bayonet?
Pablo, This idea of attaching knives to handguns began with the single shot BP naval pistols. Boarding parties fired one round and then used a cutlass. The adding of small knives to cheap hand guns was a marketing ploy.
There are Glock and Sig and CZ factory Bayonet type knife attachments out there, most people are ashamed after purchase tho .Why are knives blades never attached to any major handguns? I have never seen S&W, Colt or Walther handguns with a bayonet?

I don't know, but it looks pretty sharp!While searching the Internet for more images of modern pistols with attached blades, I even found one where some creative soul had fitted an axe bit on the front rail of a Glock....so, is this a Glock-a-hawk or Toma-Glock ?
