It always amazes me how people underestimate the derringer. If your 20 feet from someone and hit them center of mass, it will kill them just a frickin' dead!!
@TheJomogogo Im not saying it.s ideal, I'm saying at close range a shot center mass would kill. How many people have been killed by low velocity ball ammo in .38 by police over the last 100 years. Velocity means less at close range
And I'm not saying that it's not lethal, I'm saying that people who think they are getting the pizzaz of a magnum cartridge from a 2" barrel are deluding themselves. I hear people with 357 snubbies quoting muzzle velocities from 8" barrels like that's what they're getting , one idiot swore he was getting 1700 fps with a 125 gn JHP out of a 2" barrel. Makes me sick.
@TheJomogogo Your absoloutly right about about loosing velocity in a short barrel. The ammo boxes always have the long barrel velocities on them! It's like when I bought my boat they said it would do 60mph, yeah on a lake with no weight in it and a strong tail wind maybee. LOL That was a great website by the way, thanks brother!
@valdostastate77 Thats all pistols are meant for anyways isnt it? I have trouble seeing snipers trying to pick ppl off at 200 yards with a pistol. 25 yards or less is supposed tobe the rule, and fps matters less. 45s are slow nasty bullets that at close range will ruin your day.
It's more in line with your arm than the upper barrel. Makes sense. Maybe they should design these things so the lower barrel fires first? Might make it more useful in a defensive situation.
yeah in Mexico we must geta pussy .22 caliber or 25acp caliber and offc course you must get all the time the gun in your home take out the gun to the street is illegal!!!
yeah as much one 9mm but in some cases they give permise to carry(have) a 38 Sp but you need a lot of doduments to have it and something like 10000 to pay for the permison WTF?
WOW!! I thought my Dad was crazy when he told me he had a derringer in.38 special when I was a kid but in .357mag? Not me man...That thing is good for nothing but braggin rights an sore hands LOL.
Little bugger is intimidating to say the least. I want one just becouse there different. I would want a 410 shotgun though. All there good for is point blank varmit killing.
what these? doubt it, if you know how to shoot, aim and hold a gun, then a .357 magnum darringer would work just as good as a 1911 at normal pistol distances for stopping power and accuracy, IMHO.
Yeah the .357 in a derringer is a fucktarded idea, the recoil is horrendous and out of the itty-bitty barrel the velocity is crap. Derringers are clumsy to handle, slow to get into action, and dangerous to try to shoot in a hurry . They do nothing well . Shun them.
derringers are pretty cheap and come in almost any pistol caliber you could want (including .410 shotshells) i've never seen one selling for more than $300....
If you want a good derringer get a Bond. They are built like a Ruger for heavy use and with a little practice they make excellent carry guns. Many people overlook derringers because you only get two shots. Most Bond derringers have brute force stopping power, one shot from one of these is enough to put an attacker down for the count no problem. Also they are very easy to hide. My carry gun of choice is a Bond cowboy model .357 magnum loaded with hand loaded ammo to help reduce muzzle flash.
I like the derringers, but I would only use it for fun not protection. I have a blank one and have tried a real one .22 and they both have a heavy trigger pull.
@XXMIKECHARRONXX - True, but who ever it does hit is going to have a very bad day. Shoot'em Close and hit'em hard is what this baby's all about. Though I still love me NAA .22 Mag Revolver that's about the same size. One day I'll graduate to the .357 LOL.
It's a reload, 125 grain Hornady XTP with a healthy dose of Alliant 2400.
It would produce a muzzle flash with most anything. The short barrel means the bullet escapes before the powder is completely burnt, so it continues burning in front of the gun.
I had the powder actually hit me in the face once with a similar pistol. The powder actually bounced off the target and came back at me, so I know exactly what you mean.
