In 2017, I had the opportunity to film a video about the Sedgely “Fist Gun” for the NRA’s “Curator’s Corner” program. In May 2021, I posted the video to my channel and thought nothing more of it.
Some time went by and I was contacted by Kevin Williams, a researcher and author who told me I had missed the boat with this one. Unlike most people who reach out wanting to say I’m wrong about something, he actually offered evidence. Because I am an eternal student, I was delighted to see the article that he had authored and was happy to have been proven wrong. I only wish I had been aware of his research in 2017!
Unfortunately, myths have a habit of traveling far faster than the truth ever could, and such is the case with the Fist Gun. And so we can debunk and reconstruct the real narrative surrounding the Fist Gun from World War II.
