You and Ned Buntline would have been arch enemies.Now imagine that same gun with the barrel shortened to where the Tip of the bullet is right at the muzzle.
Yep, did a .38 and a .45 acp like that.
Hell we were!!!!!!!!!!!!!You and Ned Buntline would have been arch enemies.
American Derringers are great. I have had 3. On two of them I "shortened" the barrels. .38 was All aluminum weighed 6 ounces.
Thank you for posting this. I have dealt with this for most of my life. I did not chose to be this way. It is a great relief to finally come out. I can now proudly say I am a man and I like little useless guns!!Y'all have really impressed me with the variety of answers to this question, and I have absolute respect for your choices and reasons why. It both was and wasn't what I was expecting in many cases, and the multitude of different reasons confirm that the derringer platform is far from dead. Good work, y'all.
I'd like to have one of theseHey folks! A non-forum member friend of mine raised an interesting point to me... Bond Arms is one of the only remaining makers of Derringers, and that's pretty much all they make. How are they still in business? Who buys derringers nowadays? He and I are curious because neither of us could think of a single friend of ours that wants one unironically, and neither of us want one. But *someone* has to be buying them, otherwise Bond Arms would be out of business.
His suggestion is it's the cowboy action shooting guys that like them. They're cowboy concealed carry. He asked me to ask here to see if he was right.
Do you like Derringers?
Why do you like Derringers?
Have you actually bought one?
Are you into cowboy action shooting, if you do have at least one?
Why did you get a Derringer and not something more advanced?
Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks!
Had a Bond Arms in .44 mag, it felt like a stick of dynamite was going off in your handThe real question is which one of you has one in 45-70?
