I noticed that Colt also produced the Wyatt Earp in .45. Wouldn't it be nice to have a set?
Well, I am glad that is cleared up!!!
The only Colt single action rimfire I had any familiarity with was a Frontier and it was ALONG time ago......played with a few single sixes too. But I have always been an autoloading kinda guy!
My most unusal impliment is a Manrikigusari(a two foot think chain with weights on each end) that I bought in Japan as a much younger Jarhead. The name translates to...'the strength of ten thousand men'. The Ninja called them Kasarifundo, I believe.
A most challenging device to master(I have not), but having played with it for over 20 years, I have only knocked myself out ONCE!! Hehehe.
But there were other bruises too! A lamp died in its honor(lesson learned: Not a good indoor practise tool). A couple of watch faces were cracked(take off watch B4 practise).
Advantages: it fits in a pocket or a balled up fist-ready for action, it has more reach than a stick/knife, is silent, good for grappling and never runs outta ammo. And it is most unexpected!!!
Cons: Very complex motor skills, an impact sends the opposing weight in directions that is difficult to predict, not legal in alot of places, and you gotta know your anatomy and be precise. It is not in my top ten carry weapons...more a curiosity, but it has taught me ALOT over the years. And if the world goes Max Max, it'll be in one pocket....but a Jay frame 38 will be in the other!!
Had a Broomhandle for abit...it was cool! Had a P7(I consider that to be an unusual weapon), a Webley modified to shoot ACP outta clips, a replica 1860 Army .44 cap and ball(we had an original Colt 1860, but it was lost in a fire), shot a LAW rocket, Ma Duece, a blunderbuss with alot of weird stuff down the barrel(ouchie!), saw an M60 barrel turn red then white from the heat, shot an Automag(25 years ago in Alaska), owned a cheapo RG .22 snubby that I got to be an understudy to my jay frame(though it would break in the first 1000 rounds...it lasted for over five thousand before I sold it at quite a profit).
One of my Officer's models can be a 45 pistol, a carbine(thanks to Mechtech), and a .22(thanks to Ciener).....guess I watched too much Man From U.N.C.L.E. growing up(strange, I could've had a P-38! but never got one...always liked them from the historical standpoint).
A ASP Defender, a kubotan that squirts pepperspray. One of those plastic/fiberglass knives. A pen flaregun that burns at 3200 degrees and travels for 100 feet straight up. Curiosities.

LOL!!!!
Biff, yes, I wish I had gotten the .45, or both. However, for an old computer I think I did pretty well. Good thing is, my friend with the new used puter thinks so too! The classic win-win trade.

My Glock 24P (Not C, P). The 1st competition model from Glock, the 1st ported model (before compensated became vougue), and is no longer in production. It's uncommon and has some strange porting. It angles foreward out of the barrel at about 30-40 degrees.
You expect it to rip the jacket right off the bullet but it seems to do fine. I have wisely never shot lead through it but I have put quite a few Rainier Lead-Safes through, although the current fodder is STAR FMJ TC.
What the angle of the porting does do is soot up the front sight after about 5 rounds prompting me to change to the JP Custom double-ring sights. I'll take some current pictures and get them posted here and in the Glock picture thread that got started

The most unusual gun I ever owned was a 50 bmg Enfield (yes a British Enfield). I acquired it in a trade a long time ago. Someone took a old SMLE receiver and machined a very large nut-cap that a M2 barrel screwed in. A round was dropped into the barrel and the barrel then screwed into the receiver/nut. Then blamo. It weighted 25 pounds and had no muzzle brake. Recoil was extremely brutal.
Couldn't shoot more than a few rounds at a time as my shoulder would bruise up, but on the bright side, everything since feels like a 22. Traded that monstrosity for a pistol later on. Kinda miss it.

Based on that story alone your screen name is appropriate.
That's crazy

Not my rarest, but an interesting story. The gun would be my Hammerli 208S. I am by no means an Olympic caliber shooter, but even I shoot this gun well. I always wanted a really nice .22. I have a friend who frequently travels to Europe on business and he does a lot of work in the British Isles and was an Olympic caliber shooter having competed in the Pan Am Games and shoots in Europe and Israel. Great Britain passed sweeping gun control laws a few years ago and a friend of his did not want to see this gun destroyed by the government. In September before the ban took effect the owner shot the pistol at Bisley in the last pistol competition to be held there after 200 years of shooting. He won and a plaque with his name, date, and score is on the wall at Bisley. He brought his guns to the U.S. so he could come visit them when he could. He finally decided to sell it and I got it.

Unusual?
I have a double barrel 13 gauge black powder shotgun. They probably sold quite a few of these kits, but I doubt there is another that looks like mine. Suppose that makes it unusual. Kinda fancy, but it's been a good critter getter.
I made a huge throwing star. It's about 7 or 8 inches in diameter and crafted from 1/8" sping steel. Looks like a 6 bladed tanto. It'll fly about 15 feet before gravity takes over.
I used to build knives from felt pens. Don't know that that's all that unusual though. All my friends had them

I'll give you $20 for it.

AO Thompson 1927-A1. Heavy, crappy ergonomics, heavy, not southpaw freindly, heavy, high bore axis, and its heavy. With the drum loaded, it probably weighs 15lbs. To this day, my reason for buying such an impractical long arm hasnt changed, "Its cool."
I'm thinking about jumping trough all the MG hoops after the first of the year so I can put a short barrel on it (I can do that right?). The more I look at that 16" barrel, the weirder it looks.

Most unusual would have to be my T/C Contender Super 16 .45-70. Unusual if anybody fires it after witnessing me punishing myself with it. No takers yet.
It was bought for a bear hunt that never happened. Rifle Magnaported after the first 8 rounds. Still a (2)handful. Mostly a storage piece now.

It would be a tossup between a Sharps Carbine in 50-70 (I have two rounds of old ammo) and the 1 inch cold rolled steel pipe welded to a steel base that I used many moons ago as a teenager as a black powder cannon to shoot D-batteries to see how far across a lake they could go.
