Did Wyatt Earp ever own or possess a 12 barreled Colt revolver If He did did he use it at the OK corral?

Asked by HGRees4

First, it should be noted that there is a lot of conflicting information even to this day about which guns Wyatt Earp did and did not use. When an Arizona museum once claimed it owned the Colt .45 that Earp used, historians were skeptical; the gun in question was manufactured several years after the event, plus there is no concrete evidence (such as ownership records) tying Earp to that gun. We do know he probably owned a Schofield .44 Smith & Wesson revolver, a very popular gun at that time. But again, there is little reliable information, and lots of myth and legend, about which guns were used during the shoot-out at the OK Corral; and it is also worth noting that many historians believe the so-called "Buntline Special" with its 12-inch barrel is also a myth.
