Wow, I googled it, and Security Arms is saying the ammo is AP. That's a no-no in a pistol.

Yah its around, about $50-80 per round.


Might as well get a Dardick to go with it



Ammo is only $50 a pull for it as well.

The problem is the projectile is a small missle. When you fire it the projectile needs to excellerate so it has vitually no muzzle velocity. You can put you finger in the barrel and stop the round.

I knew a FFL in reno that I use to deal with that had like 3 of them but.

Think about it IF the bore is over 1/2 inch its considered a DD

Here are some websites that talk about the gyrojet

All right, JP. WTH is a Dardick, and why would it be cool? I'm sure there's something about it...

Google is your best friend Gram


Its a unique revolver from the 50s/60s that used triangular shaped ammo that was plastic cased... look it up.

I saw one for sale at the Costa Mesa gun show. It's a federal C&R, I think. The thing is so rare I doubt anyone would nothr even trying to regulate and ban it. It is simply an interesting idea which failed miserably. But would definitely make a fine centerpiece to an oddity collection.

The Dardick was unique in that it used a revolvong cylinder and a magazine- and the rounds were triangular!
