Something Completely Different

Compare the size of the .22 Sharps derringer to the size of the .32 If they made this in .32, it's six chambered barrels would be a LOT wider, or they'd have to go to four barrels, and thus only 2 double taps.

If they made a modern COP clone in 38Spl for, say, $400 that only single fired, I'd be in for sure!

It sure does.

It is simple, and adds a bit more oomph to the .25acp round by hitting it's target with 2 of them at once.

It is better than a .22lr.....and there are a large number of people who carry a .22 for CCW.

By what ballistic standards do you qualify that?

I had one years ago. It was the best 3 shot 4 barreled pistol money could buy. Heavy as hell, miserable pull and I was glad to be rid of it for about $100.00.

Yes, I know ......

Yup, they go for decent $$$ now on Gunbroker.

Not ballistically......
.25acp is a centerfire cartridge, and more reliable than a rimfire inherently.

The process of priming rimfire rounds is less reliable. I have had many .22lr rounds go "click" instead of "bang", even newer modern ammunition.
I have never had newer, modern centerfire cartridges do that to me.
