Derringers...I had thought this was posted

[Major 2]

I guess I've been some what of a fan of the Remy since watching "Have Gun will Travel"

Kinda liked the Sharps some better though ....never really lusted for either, all that much....

BUT dang it Tom..... you are build a hell 'o" va" case of the wants one !

  It's a dirty Job, but someone's gotta do it.  I have a couple of the Sharps, as well.  Both are good shooters, and I always have a supply of 22 Shorts on hand.


Now, I am on a British Bulldog kick.  This one in 44 Webley is my favorite.

Wadd Watson - Midway normally carries 32 S & W cartridges in both short and long and also the cases and bullets for reloading.....

Tom. You need to post a warning that your pi ;)ctures might cause excessive drooling and envy.

[OklaTom]

Sorry folks.  I totally got off the topic of this thread.  Back to derringers   

[RickB]

No complaints from me. 

[OklaTom]

Back on the subject or derringers, I have this really nice Merrimack Southern Derringer in 41 RF.  It is fun to shoot, though you have to keep feeding it since it is a single shot.  It is in great condition, and shoots well.  That is, it did until the firing blade on the hammer broke off.  Anyone know a place I can pick up a new hammer?

[RickB]

I wish I did.  I need a new hammer for my S&W top brake #2.

Did you check with Numrich parts on line?  I've had luck with them on S&W parts in the past

[RickB]

No but I sure will. Thanks for the info.

[OklaTom]

Wonder if I could use these shooting gunfighter style...   

[John William McCandles]

Picked up a nice FIE D38 and a couple of boxes of .38 Colt short.
Shot it a few times and all seems well, these things do have some stout springs and trigger pull!!!!

Here's oneof the IAR double derringers:



and a Miroku Sharpes 4 barrel derringer in .22LR

FYI:

If someone is looking for one of the vintage Uberti Derringers, there is one for sale on the SASS wire.

I have no connection to the seller, so I have not seen or handled this piece. 

Seller has a very enthusiastic starting price, but has already made one price drop.

very enthusiastic starting price

No kidding!  They are fine derringers, though, and very difficult to find.

I picked on one on Gunbroker recently for almost 1/2 the price he is asking . . . but again, they are nice derringers and sure are hard to find.

I removed the Italian proof marks - left the Uberti markings - and had Jim Downing engrave the flats.

It's beautiful!

I 'stage' the rotating firing pin so that the top left barrel's the first one to fire - that way, I can control the accuracy somewhat.

If you fire it at a standard bull - you get a sort of 'square' pattern.

Vaya,

Scouts Out!

This one showed up on GunBroker at a much more reasonable price:

Hows about a Rossi SxS

[John Smith]

I had one of those, the trigger guard was so small, I couldn't get my finger in it.
