My first ship in a long time that is actually armed is
the Sheriff’s “44”.
It’s the main tool of law enforcement in the New Kansas system.

New Kansas!? Children of the Space Corn? Great ship Tony, great name, but
I’m surprised you didn’t go with .38 Special. Guess you wanted the added
firepower. I really like the canopy area, good solid design. For some
reason the ship reminds me of the one from Firefly. Anyway, nice work, and
I’ll anxiously await the companion vehicle...I’m guessing something like the
beer-hauling semi from Smokey and the Bandit. A Burt Reynolds minifig
shouldn’t be too hard to pull off.

Gads, that’s a horrible image. I was raised on Smokey and the Bandit, too. I
was picturing more of a smuggler’s broken-down freighter like in the Wild West
episode of the original Battlestar Galactica, but I kind of like the Burt
Reynolds connection.
And for the ship’s name, Pat Garrett is commonly credited with killing Billy the
Kid with his Colt 44.
