Now that’s what I call a bail-out gun
If John Ham’s grandfather was a fighter pilot in WWII…
“Lieutenant Colonel David C Schilling, 56th Fighter, 94th Bomb Group with a private modification to his Colt 1911”
Hattip Grease Gun Burgers.
Although I can’t find out much about Schilling’s gun, it looks much like the famous Lebman 1911 Machine Pistol handmade by Texas gunsmith Hyman Saul Lebman. That San Antonio custom smith and leather artist made a few dozen of these in the 1930s including a number he sold to men in nice suits who later turned out to be Baby Face Nelson and John Herbert Dillinger. Back in 2012 I did a piece on the Lebmans over at Guns.com should you want to read more in-depth.
With that being said, if you know more about Schilling, or his pistol, drop it below.
