I had a double that was given to me. The wood grips sucked, the lack of a trigger guard let the cheap sandwich style trigger housing slam into my middle finger cutting me open regularly. The safety broke quickly....
Let's start this story over...went woodduck hunting in a swamp full of cottonmouths. My buddies dad had a crate of these and tossed me a box of shells and this POS. In all fairness it never blew up or anything like that...but it's not too safe to use. When your hopping beaver dams into the slough and you step out to pull the boat over, the proper time to load is not when you are straddling a cottonmouth at knee level since your in water. Snake gun for the boat...nope. Tried to.give it back, no luck. So about a year later I'm squirrel hunting and come up on a big copperhead entirely too close to the house...a honest 5 footer, probably 5 and a half. Took 4 shots from 10 ft. Snake gun for the ground...nope. last resort on this joker was some #4s on some "chickens" that all turned out to be roosters who liked to spur people. I shot a box of shells before I finally honestly killed one. I wounded a couple others and had to finish them off with a 22 as they ran around the yard. Chicken gun it ain't either.
The only conceivable uses I have been able to come up with where these would be ideal are:
-as a gun for when you get carjacking and can stick it in the guys face and let rip
-as a really loud noisemaker
-as a movie prop
Single barrel, double, pepperbox, whatever...do yourself a favor and skip it. There's never anything good to come from a gun where you pay the same price for the gun as you do 6 boxes of ammo.
