LeMat Revolver Country of origin Confederate States / France Weapon type Revolver / Shotgun Magazine/Cylinder capacity 9 shot cylinder, Single shotgun barrel

The LeMat revolver was a .42 pistol invented by Dr. Jean Alexandre of New Orleans. LeMat revolvers were set apart from the common Colt and Starr revolvers of the day (1860s) by a single .68" bore smoothbore barrel affixed to the bottom of the main barrel, loaded with a charge of shot.

Alexandre was helped to market his pistol by the flamboyant PGT Beauregard, and the weapons were manufactured in both England and France. The pistols were a favorite of Confederate officers during the American Civil War.
