Trivia
- The Southern Hospitality, as with the Frontier Justice, the Wrangler and the Gunslinger, appears to have been designed by Radigan Conagher, the Engineer's grandfather. This is shown by a hidden link in the Engineer Update.
- The name "Southern Hospitality" is derived from the same phrase describing the warm and welcoming American South.
- WatchMaker| submitted the model to the Contribute page under the name "Beat All".[citation needed]
- With the Mann-Conomy Update and by extension the release of the Mann Co. Store, the creator of the Southern Hospitality emailed Valve co-founder and managing director Template:W to thank him for his item's inclusion. Newell responded to this by purchasing 10,000 of the Southern Hospitality item from the Mann Co. Store.
