As I recall, in the film "el Dorado" The James Caan Character carried something like this. I also remember that when he shot it, the recoil almost put the gun in the middle of his fore head.
Somewhere in a gun magazine I saw a picture of Doc Holliday's 10 ga. street sweeper, a cut down double about the same size as the Auto Bugler. Doc had a ring soldered to the rib and a leather shoulder sling arraingement attached to wear under his coat. The grip on Doc's 10 ga. looked a lot more comfortable to shoot, like it would roll up in the hand like a Colt SAA when fired rather than comming straight back.
Either gun looks like they kill at both ends.
