Nothing to add on the new gun (congrats, I guess), but this is the funniest thread title I think I've ever seen here.
You should post this on HROT.

That's a new twist on why alcohol and guns don't mix.
I remember the COP in Blade Runner was rigged to fire two barrels at a time, which is why it had the brilliant muzzle flash.
I handled one years ago, thought it was the proverbial answer to the unasked question. But, as you say, a very cool conversation piece and collectors item.

I've loosened up with a few (or more) on a couple of occasions and bought guns online.

The C.O.P. is from a California company (now out-of-business 'surprised? ...not me..') called M&N Distributors.I worked with the M&N people for some weeks in the mid-70s to invent, develop and build a rimless extractor system for the COP to allow it to be made in rimless calibers.....380 acp, 38 super and 9mm Luger. Within several months of my completing this project, M&N wa no longer in business.
And I own the only one in 9mm Luger......

Got my COP in yesterday. Looks like it hasn't been fired. Came with box. Really a very well made derringer. Great addition to my collecton. I don't plan on shooting it myself. Just display it...somewhere in my gun room. Not much room left.

Being drunk is not cool with firearms, buying, selling or shooting
It is a lucky buy, similar to a lucky trip home, if in similar state...

Reminds me of the time about 5 years ago that the UPS guy knocks on the door and asks my old man to sign for the package.
Opens it up and its one of those cheap, piece-o-crap, Estaban guitars.
Old man starts yelling at his wife (my stepmother).
She then reminds him of his post golfing binge with his buddies on Saturday afternoon that carried over to 2am and that the TV was on while they were all downstairs in the basement watching the Golf Channel.
"oh,.........."

Wow this gets MY best ever thread on this forum!
Like a bro. all ready mentioned these guns were kewl back in the day for a back up for Narcs (and the .22 Mag HS 101 derringer too) and such. They do work, at least mine did, getting 6" groups at 7 yards and drawing easily from the pocket. It wuz like carrying a one pound chipmunk in your pocket tho...
but 4 rounds of the Treasury Load (.38spl +P+ 110 grain skived hollow points) that matched what your model 19 snub took seemed correct at the time , hey I was drinking pretty regularly then!
Later , in 1979, I made the mistake of showing up with my jeans bulging with it to back up my Combat Commander at API . The Blessed Colonel "made the print" and before the class asked me to show my back up piece.
I traded it to an officer back home the following week for AMT Hard baller Longslide he said jammed all the time. It was the AMT mags why it jammed of course and I never looked back at the Cop Pepperbox!

I can honestly say of all the things I've done in my life buying a gun and not remembering doing it wasn't one of them.

I've done that with eBay, but not gun auctions... yet.

I was going to say, it is the gun from the end of the first Bad Boys movie!
I've made a couple GB bids while enjoying some drinks. Luckily it hasn't cost me. Now I have a... semi firm rule about not bidding while drinking. Unless it looks like a really good deal of course. heh.

Just thank the Lord you weren't watching "snuggie" infomercials when you got into a buying mood.

That's so hilarious!! I'm soo glad I read this. I do stupid **** when I'm drunk, but I can't say I've ever bought a gun!! Congratulations on winning, and at least you got a good deal. I usually just post stupid stuff on facebook when I'm drunk online!! How does it shoot?

When I hear people talking about being drunk and doing anything with firearms, the conversation's over... not cool in any way, shape, or form... It would be just as easy for you to wake up from one of your drunken stupors and find bodies on the floor... not cool at all...

I got drunk once and read about guns on THR. Thank god I didn't kill someone instead.
That COP pistol was on the cover of Volume One of American Handgunner. I'm sure you thought you were seeing double and thought it was a stack barrel derringer.
I got crocked and went on line and bought a Queen pocket knife. It was the Right Thing To Do.

Well, considering that you can buy a firearm online while being miles away from any actual firearm, I don't think it's anything to lose any sleep over. It's about as dangerous as watching cop shows on TV when you've had a few.
