Cant wait to get it.
Does anybody else have one of these. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=147241781

 

[madcratebuilder]

I bet that would sting, a .44 derringer. Pretty cool Bob.

 

[bigbadgun]

I should have it by Saturday I cant wait still get excited over a new toy.
This is my early birthday present to ME. LOL

 

[Voodoochile]

Man one of those would be neat to have, I may have to see if I can find one.

 

[NobleSniper]

Congrats

 

[bigbadgun]

I have been looking for 1 for a year or so.
This place is the only place I have ever seen them.
And for $75 I said ok gotta get it now. LOL
Once I get it I will post pics with it next to something a little more familure

 

[bigbadgun]

Oh Voodoo I almost forgot I got the R.E.A.L. Bullets thank you
and it dont look like I am gonna be getting to the range this weekend but very soon.

That's pretty cool, too bad it takes 209's though. Kind of offends my traditional sensibilities

Is it a smoothbore or rifled? I wouldn't mind having one. The price is certainly right. It would look good with a set of nice wood grips.

How's this for a wristbreaker:

Ugly as sin, but you would never forget shooting it.

I'd wonder if you wouldn't cause more damage from unexpended powder striking your assailant and then igniting from the muzzleflash, rather than from the slug?

I don't own it, but I'm wantin' ta get it from a friend that owns the .45Colt on the Pic... shhhh but it shoots .410ga too...

a good Ratler gun...

 

[bigbadgun]

My brother has the .45lc/.410 thats why I got this one I should have it in the morning. I am not gonna be able to sleep:banghead:

 

[NobleSniper]

Ka-boom!!!!! :d

 

[bigbadgun]

Like my wifey says Click Boom

I don't fault the manufacturer for using 209 primers in that gun. It's the right way to go.

I've seen copies of the .31 Colt "derringers" that use traditional #11 percussion caps. Not the best system for an inline-style gun.

 

[alemonkey]

I'm not sure if you can still get them, but I just found that pistol for 37.99 here:

You can't get to that page from their home page, though, so it may not be available.

 

[bigbadgun]

All righty then just got the little Derringer and It does have a rifled barrel.
And the paper work says to use a #11 cap but I am gonna check all that out when I get home.
I am also gonna post pics when I get home.

 

[bigbadgun]

Here it is

I just got it today.
It is very heavy for it size seems to be very will made.
fit and finish are very good. Locks up very tight. And has a bar saftey.
If any body wants more pics not a problem.

 

[missuramoss]

Nice score there bigbadgun...I dont wanna be a pain in da ass.....but I'd kinda like to see a few more pics of it...maybe a close up of the bore?..Congrats man!

 

[alemonkey]

SHOOT IT SHOOT IT SHOOT IT!

I'm pretty excited see some pics of this little guy in action....

 

[bigbadgun]

Just as soon as I can.

I didn't realize what gun you were talking about until those last pictures came in. A couple of years ago I did an inventory of a collection by a high school classmate for his widow. He had one. I really didn't believe at the time it was a real gun, and couldn't find anything about it on the internet. Finally did get a response on the Ruger forum from a person who had one. Said he'd fired it once and it darn near broke his hand. He put it away and hadn't gotten it out in over five years.

My impression of it was that it was anything but well made. It did lock up tight, but the finish and fit were very rough. The exterior was like a rough casting that had yet to be machined.

She still has the gun.

Holy Cow! Wear shootin' gloves! log in a report, please.

 

[Voodoochile]

I think one of those would be neat to toy around with at the range, ofcorse I think I'd keep it as a ball shooter being that it is so short.

 

[bigbadgun]

mykeal yes it has the look and feel of cast iron but the edges are clean no sharp edges to cut yourself on. For the bp crowd they also make a double barrel in .451 so I need to hunt one of them down. Report as soon as possible.
