    Contrary to popular belief, General George Patton never owned a pair of pearl handled pistols.

    As the General, himself, would sharply point out when asked about his famous sidearms:

    “Goddamit, my guns are ivory handled. Nobody but a pimp from a cheap New Orleans’ whorehouse would carry one with pearl grips”
