Apparently he carried one in the South Africa war.

The interesting read is how he used the C96 in the battle of Omdurman with the 21st Lancers. Apparently he was shooting left and right at point black range in the charge instead of using his sword (I believe his hand was wounded or something of that nature). Pretty exciting stuff.

Well, that pistol would get it done...
