A big man needs a big gun.
Well, President Grover Cleveland a really big sporting shotgun.
Check it out by watching the video below:
At around 360 pounds, United States President Grover Cleveland was a big man. As a hunter, he wanted a really big double-barreled shotgun. How about an 8-gauge, double-barreled shotgun? Colt was ready to upsize a side-by-side shotgun that was already made in 10- and 12-gauge options specifically for this American President.
What they would ultimately create was a one-of-a-kind, as Colt hasn't made a shotgun in the huge 8 gauge since.
We'd like to thank the NRA National Firearms Museum for sharing such a beautiful and ultra-unique waterfowling shotgun.
