Mike Kauffman and I discussed this years ago and he dismissed the second pistol theory, for what it is worth as my testimony counts as hearsay.

The second pistol (if we are both referring to the same one) was smaller in size and had JWB's name engraved on it. It certainly was not a "match" to the murder weapon, for sure.
