THE OUTLAW SPECIAL
BELGIAN WHIPPET & FITZ SPECIAL PAIR
BELGIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP CUSTOM WHIPPET FITZ-STYLE REVOLVER
CASE SUMMARY
This isn't just another shotgun and revolver pairing. It's a modern tribute to the kind of outlaw hardware that defined the American underworld during the middle of the twentieth century. The Belgian FN Browning Auto-5 Whippet delivers overwhelming close-range authority while the Colt Cobra Fitz Special provides an exceptionally compact companion built for speed and concealment. Together they recreate one of history's most recognizable two-gun concepts with unmistakable attitude.
The 1959 Belgian Auto-5 remains one of John Moses Browning's greatest mechanical achievements. Its long-recoil operating system earned a legendary reputation for reliability, while the custom 18.50-inch vent-rib barrel transforms the classic sporting shotgun into an aggressive Whippet-style fighting gun. Belgian machining, walnut furniture and decades of honest wear give it character that simply cannot be manufactured today.
Backing it up is a Colt Cobra Lightweight that has been transformed into a Fitz-style revolver. The open trigger guard, bobbed hammer, compact two-inch barrel and lightweight frame produce an unmistakable custom profile inspired by one of the most famous defensive revolver concepts ever created. It remains compact, fast handling and instantly recognizable.
Although these firearms pay tribute to legendary historical fighting configurations, they are equally impressive as collectible custom builds. Every scratch, worn edge and polished surface contributes to the visual personality of the pair while preserving the craftsmanship that made Browning and Colt household names among American shooters.
Together they embody everything enthusiasts appreciate about old-school fighting firearms: forged steel, walnut, mechanical simplicity and purposeful modifications. Whether displayed together or appreciated individually, this pairing delivers an unmistakable outlaw-era aesthetic that stands apart from modern production firearms.
