Derringers

[easy]

School me on derringers. Small, zero sight radius. What should I know and why.

Thanks.

Would there be any reason why they are illegal in the PRC ?




Here is one I would love to own.

List on the Cobras is about $110 I think. My FFL ordered mine for $95 I think before tax and DROS.

So, for anyone who has one; what's it like to shoot a derringer? How's the recoil?
Just thinking about the novelty factor.

SAS. Turners had a Simerling on consignment like that last year i think. I saw the price tag for around $4500

I'm still hoping someone has a .45-70 derringer they would sell me at a reaonable price

A .45 Colt will not chamber a .410 shotgun shell. The chamber is too short. The illegal chambering is .410/.45 as a .45 Colt cartridge will fit a .410 chamber.

I saw that one AND remember it. It was just not in the cards (or my wallet) at the time.

However, American Derringer is supposed to me making by request, or were planning on going into regular full production, a completely accurate reproduction of the Semmerling LM-4 . It was to be made with the exacting standards with which the original was made - magnufluxing, zyglo, non-destructive testing of all the parts, hand honing, tempered in a slave's blood, a blessing by a priest....

It is unlikely the AD version will ever make it to CA - if like the original LM-4, it will have no safety, no slide-lock, no decocker, no loaded chamber indicator, no mag disconnect, no other yada-yada doodads, etc.
