Made in millions by the Fane of Westingkrup (and copied by a dozen lesser sources), the Steadholder is a heavy calibre rifle, loaded by a simple and distinctive lever mechanism. The Steadholder may not be the finest or most famed weapon to come from the forges of Gunmetal, but it is all that stands between starvation and an unpleasant death on the margins of many a world and justly respected for that. Although mainly intended for frontier settlements and agri-worlds, many Steadholders spill onto the black markets of the worlds where they are manufactured, ending up in the hands of gangs and low-rent hired guns. Considerable numbers have found their way into the hands of Redemptionists where the gun’s ease of use and low cost make it suitable for fresh and untrained converts to the cause. These so called “saviour guns”, often rippling with prayer parchments and votive tokens, have sent many a soul unwillingly to the Emperor.
